10. Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—your poverty will come in like a vagabond and your need like an armed man. 6:6-11 The hand of the diligent will rule, but the slack hand will be put to forced labor. 12:24 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made fat. 13:4 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle man will suffer hunger. 19:15 Learn to work

11. The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing…Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food. 20:4,13 Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully. 10:4-5 Learn to work

12. He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense. 12:11 he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty. 28:19 Don’t chase fantasies

13. In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. 14:23 Turn talk into action

14. The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender's slave. 22:7 Don’t borrow money

16. He who loves pleasure will become a poor man; he who loves wine and oil will not become rich. 21:17 Avoid spending on luxuries

17. Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed. 15:22 Prepare plans by consultation, and make war by wise guidance. 20:18 Seek advice from the successful

18. The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty. 21:5 He who hurries with his footsteps errs 19:2 Don’t make hasty decisions

19. 15:16-17 Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and turmoil with it. Better is a dish of vegetables where love is than a fattened ox served with hatred. 17:1 Better is a dry morsel and quietness with it than a house full of feasting with strife. Learn to be content

20. 6:1-5 My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, have given a pledge for a stranger, if you have been snared with the words of your mouth, have been caught with the words of your mouth, do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor. Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids; deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand and like a bird from the hand of the fowler. Loan money cautiously

21. 11:15 He who puts up security for another will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe. 22:26-27 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you. Loan money cautiously

22. Prepare for the future 6:6-11 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest — and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

23. 21:20 In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. 13:18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. Prepare for the future

24. 3:9-10 Honor the LORD from your wealth and from the first of all your produce; so your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. 10:22 It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich Remember God

25. 11:24-26 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. People curse the man who hoards grain, but blessing crowns him who is willing to sell. Remember others

26. 28:27 He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses. 29:7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern. 22:9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. Remember others
