How to escape poverty

A universal practice

Proverbs 20:19

19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.

Three unfailing laws

__________________________________

20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp will be put out in deep darkness. 21 An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning Will not be blessed at the end. 22 Do not say, "I will recompense evil"; Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.

Two abominable things

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the LORD, And dishonest scales are not good.

God's providence

__________________________________

24 A man's steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way?

Two evils in religion
