Contentment » With Godliness is great gain
but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;
Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
Wealth » What is better than monetary riches
Better is a little with righteousness, Than abundance of increase without justice.
A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold -- good grace.
Better is a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth.
Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous -- together. They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
Teth. Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah, According to Thy word. The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed. Before I am afflicted, I -- I am erring, And now Thy saying I have kept. read more.
Good Thou art, and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes. Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts. Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I have delighted. Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might learn Thy statutes. Better to me is the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of gold and silver!

Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold. For better is wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are not comparable with it. I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of devices I find out. read more.
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated. Mine is counsel and substance, I am understanding, I have might. By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness, By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth. I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do find me. Wealth and honour are with me, Lasting substance and righteousness. Better is my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine increase than choice silver.

Wealth » Treasures of wickedness
Better is the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.
Are there yet in the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah? Do I reckon it pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones? Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
