9  Honor the Lord with your wealth

and with ^qthe firstfruits of all your produce;

4  A slack hand ^jcauses poverty,

^kbut the hand of the diligent makes rich.

1  ^aA false balance is an abomination to the Lord,

^bbut a just weight is his delight.

16  ^bBetter is a little with the fear of the Lord

than great treasure and trouble with it.

11  ^bA just balance and scales are the Lord’s;

all the weights in the bag are his work.
