So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.

The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul; But the belly of the wicked shall want.

In the multitude of people is the king's glory; But in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain , And he that giveth to the rich,'shall come only to want.

So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

he that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
