'Great' in the Bible

There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all;Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding [and profits from his self-control],But he who is quick-tempered exposes and exalts his foolishness [for all to see].

Great and priceless treasure is in the house of the [consistently] righteous one [who seeks godly instruction and grows in wisdom],But trouble is in the income of the wicked one [who rejects the laws of God].

Better is a little with the [reverent, worshipful] fear of the LordThan great treasure and trouble with it.

Better is a little with righteousnessThan great income [gained] with injustice.

A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for himAnd brings him before great men.

A man of great anger will bear the penalty [for his quick temper and lack of self-control];For if you rescue him [and do not let him learn from the consequences of his action], you will only have to rescue him over and over again.

A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches;And favor is better than silver and gold.

Do not be boastfully ambitious and claim honor in the presence of the king,And do not stand in the place of great men;

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory and celebration;But when the wicked rise [to prominence], men hide themselves.

A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding and common sense [and his wickedness shortens his days],But he who hates unjust gain will [be blessed and] prolong his days.
