So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
