other.

tree.

15:27 Dishonest money brings grief to all the family, but hating bribes leads to
happiness.

16:1 We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God’s hands.

20:15 Good sense is far more valuable than gold or precious jewels.

20:21 Quick wealth is not a blessing in the end.

kings.
