12. There is one that is sluggish, and has need of help, Lacking in strength, and that abounds in poverty; And the eyes of the Lord looked upon him for good, And he set him up from his low estate,
13. And lifted up his head; And many marveled at him.
14. Good things and evil, life and death, Poverty and riches, are from the Lord.
17. The gift of the Lord remains with the godly, And his good pleasure shall prosper for ever.
18. There is that waxes rich by his wariness and pinching, And this is the portion of his reward:
19. When he says, I have found rest, And now will I eat of my goods; Yet he knows not what time shall pass, And he shall leave them to others, and die.
