So Israel became poverty-stricken because of Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the Lord.
The Lord brings poverty and gives wealth;He humbles and He exalts.
Emaciated from poverty and hunger,they gnawed the dry land,the desolate wasteland by night.
and your poverty will come like a robber,your need, like a bandit.
A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city;the poverty of the poor is their destruction.
Poverty and disgrace come to thosewho ignore discipline,but the one who accepts correction will be honored.
There is profit in all hard work,but endless talk leads only to poverty.
Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.
and your poverty will come like a robber,your need, like a bandit.
The one who works his landwill have plenty of food,but whoever chases fantasieswill have his fill of poverty.
A greedy man is in a hurry for wealth;he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him.
Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.Give me neither poverty nor wealth;feed me with the food I need.
Let him drink so that he can forget his povertyand remember his trouble no more.
