The wealth of wise people is their crown. But the foolish ways of foolish people lead to what is foolish.

智慧人的财为自己的冠冕；愚妄人的愚昧终是愚昧。

智慧人的冠冕是富有智慧；愚昧人的愚昧终究是愚昧。

智慧人的冠冕是富有智慧；愚昧人的愚昧终究是愚昧。

智者以财富为冠冕，愚人以愚昧为装饰。

智慧人的冠冕是他们的财富；愚昧人的愚妄，始终是愚妄。

智慧人的冠冕，是自己的财富；愚昧人的愚妄，终究是愚妄。

智慧人的財為自己的冠冕；愚妄人的愚昧終是愚昧。

智慧人的冠冕是富有智慧；愚昧人的愚昧終究是愚昧。

智慧人的冠冕是富有智慧；愚昧人的愚昧終究是愚昧。

智者以財富為冠冕，愚人以愚昧為裝飾。

智慧人的冠冕是他們的財富；愚昧人的愚妄，始終是愚妄。

智慧人的精明是他們的冠冕；愚頑人的愚妄是他們的華冠。

智慧人的冠冕，是自己的財富；愚昧人的愚妄，終究是愚妄。

智者之才為其冕、蠢者之愚終為愚、

智而富、能善用其財、愚而尊、亦畢生愚蠢。

智而富、其財適增其榮、愚而富、其財適加其愚、

I tell you, use the riches of this world to help others. In that way, you will make friends for yourselves. Then when your riches are gone, you will be welcomed into your eternal home in heaven.

Everyone can see that even wise people die. People who are foolish and who have no sense also pass away. All of them leave their wealth to others.Their tombs will remain their houses forever. Their graves will be their homes for all time to come. Naming lands after themselves won’t help either.Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on. They are like the animals. They die.That’s what happens to those who trust in themselves. It also happens to their followers, who agree with what they say.

“ Once there was a rich man. He was dressed in purple cloth and fine linen. He lived an easy life every day.A man named Lazarus was placed at his gate. Lazarus was a beggar. His body was covered with sores.Even dogs came and licked his sores. All he wanted was to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.“ The time came when the beggar died. The angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.In the place of the dead, the rich man was suffering terribly. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. Lazarus was by his side.So the rich man called out,‘ Father Abraham! Have pity on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water. Then he can cool my tongue with it. I am in terrible pain in this fire.’“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember what happened in your lifetime. You received your good things. Lazarus received bad things. Now he is comforted here, and you are in terrible pain.

Suppose you could grind a foolish person in a mill. Suppose you could grind them as you would grind grain with a tool. Even then you could not remove their foolishness from them.

Wisdom is a good thing. It’s like getting a share of the family wealth. It benefits those who live on this earth.Wisdom provides safety, just as money provides safety. But here’s the advantage of wisdom. It guards those who have it.

They have spread their gifts around to poor people. Their good works continue forever. They will be powerful and honored.

He will be the firm foundation for their entire lives. He will give them all the wisdom, knowledge and saving power they will ever need. Respect for the Lord is the key to that treasure.

I’ll say to myself,“ You have plenty of grain stored away for many years. Take life easy. Eat, drink and have a good time.” ’“ But God said to him,‘ You foolish man! Tonight I will take your life away from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
