God’s Wisdom for our Money – Proverbs 30:7-9

Proverbs 30:7-9:
7 “Two things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
    give me neither poverty nor riches,
    but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
    and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.

22:2 Rich and poor have this in common:
    The Lord is the Maker of them all.

29:13 The poor and the oppressor have this in common:
    The Lord gives sight to the eyes of both.

3:9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
   and your vats will brim over with new wine.

10:22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
    without painful toil for it.

10:15 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city,
    but poverty is the ruin of the poor.

13:23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
    but injustice sweeps it away.

20:17 Food gained by fraud tastes sweet,
    but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.

21:6 A fortune made by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.

14:31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
   but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

22:16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
    and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

22:22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
    and do not crush the needy in court,

23 for the Lord will take up their case
    and will exact life for life.

28:3 A ruler who oppresses the poor
   is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

28:8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor
    amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

18:11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;
    they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

23:4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
    do not trust your own cleverness.
5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
    for they will surely sprout wings
    and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

10:2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
    but righteousness delivers from death.

11:4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.

11:7 Hopes placed in mortals die with them;
 all the promise of their power comes to nothing.

11:28 Those who trust in their riches will fall,
    but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.

15:16 Better a little with the fear of the Lord
    than great wealth with turmoil.

16:19 Better to be lowly in spirit along with the oppressed
    than to share plunder with the proud.

28:11 The rich are wise in their own eyes;
    one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.

16:8 Better a little with righteousness
    than much gain with injustice.

19:22 What a person desires is unfailing love;
    better to be poor than a liar.

28:6 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
    than the rich whose ways are perverse.

15:17 Better a small serving of vegetables with love
    than a fattened calf with hatred.

17:1Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
    than a house full of feasting, with strife.

10:16 The wages of the righteous is life,
    but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
