over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. 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.
Proverbs 30:8-9 – Keep
falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me
only my daily bread. 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.
Proverbs 3:9-10 – Honor the
LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then
your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new
wine.

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.

apply God’s wisdom to your life.
