Proverbs 28:20

¹⁰He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. ¹¹If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? ¹²If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

¹¹Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

⁶Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

⁴Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous. ⁵It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment. ⁶For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever. ⁷He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. ⁸His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries. ⁹He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.

¹⁰Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

²²A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.

²¹An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.

⁶My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

²I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.

⁴²The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
