Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle,
but whoever earns it through labor will multiply it.

Food gained by fraud is sweet to a man,
but afterward his mouth is full of gravel.

“As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.

when I heal Israel,
the sins of Ephraim and the crimes of Samaria
will be exposed.
For they practice fraud;
a thief breaks in;
a raiding party pillages outside.
