Proverbs 14:24

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted in honor.

Wisdom is as good as an inheritance
and an advantage to those who see the sun,

There will be times of security for you—
a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous money so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.

Though you grind a fool
in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,
you will not separate his foolishness from him.

For one can see that wise men die;
foolish and stupid men also pass away.
Then they leave their wealth to others.

Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’

“There was a rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen, feasting lavishly every day.
