Proverbs 21:6

Working for treasures by a lying tongue

Is a fleeting breath, by those who pursue death.

Proverbs 21:13 - 21:14

He who shuts his ear to the outcry of the poor

Will himself also call and not be answered.

A gift in secret subdues anger,

And a bribe in the bosom, strong wrath.

He who loves pleasure will become a poor man;

He who loves wine and oil will not become rich.

There is desirable treasure and oil in the abode of the wise,

But a foolish man swallows it up.

All day long he is insatiably craving,

While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
