Wisdom and knowledge are granted you. And I will give you riches, possessions, honor, and glory, such as none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.

And every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in keeping with the law and the commandments to seek his God [inquiring of and yearning for Him], he did with all his heart, and he prospered.

Deuteronomy 28
[1]IF YOU will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.[2]And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God.

Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may deal wisely and prosper in all that you do.

[17]And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.[18]But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--

Genesis 17
[1]WHEN ABRAM was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, I am the Almighty God; walk and live habitually before Me and be perfect (blameless, wholehearted, complete).[2]And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly.[3]Then Abram fell on his face, and God said to him,[4]As for Me, behold, My covenant (solemn pledge) is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations.[5]Nor shall your name any longer be Abram [high, exalted father]; but your name shall be Abraham [father of a multitude], for I have made you the father of many nations.[6]And I will make you exceedingly fruitful and I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.[7]And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting, solemn pledge, to be a God to you and to your posterity after you. [Gal. 3:16.][8]And I will give to you and to your posterity after you the land in which you are a stranger [going from place to place], all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. [Acts 7:5.][9]And God said to Abraham, As for you, you shall therefore keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord. [I Cor. 9:11; Gal. 6:6.]

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

[34]You offspring of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.[35]The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.[36]But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.[37]For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

A good man leaves an inheritance [of moral stability and goodness] to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up.

He who by charging excessive interest and who by unjust efforts to get gain increases his material possession gathers it for him [to spend] who is kind and generous to the poor. [Job 27:16, 17; Prov. 13:22; Eccl. 2:26.]

[17]I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me. [I Sam. 2:30; Ps. 91:14; John 14:21; James 1:5.][18]Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God). [Prov. 3:16; Matt. 6:33.][19]My fruit is better than gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase than choice silver.[20]I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice,[21]That I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.

Psalms 1
[1]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.[2]But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night. [Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 3:1-29; II Tim. 3:16.][3]And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity]. [Jer. 17:7, 8.]

Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Psalms 37
[1]FRET NOT yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God).[2]For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.[3]Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.[4]Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.[5]Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.[6]And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.[7]Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.[8]Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself--it tends only to evildoing.[9]For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord [in the end] shall inherit the earth. [Isa. 57:13c.][10]For yet a little while, and the evildoers will be no more; though you look with care where they used to be, they will not be found. [Heb. 10:36, 37; Rev. 21:7, 8.][11]But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [Ps. 37:29; Matt. 5:5.][12]The wicked plot against the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright in right standing with God); they gnash at them with their teeth.[13]The Lord laughs at [the wicked], for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming.[14]The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly (blameless in conduct and in conversation).[15]The swords [of the wicked] shall enter their own hearts, and their bows shall be broken.[16]Better is the little that the [uncompromisingly] righteous have than the abundance [of possessions] of many who are wrong and wicked. [I Tim. 6:6, 7.][17]For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the [consistently] righteous.[18]The Lord knows the days of the upright and blameless, and their heritage will abide forever.[19]They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.[20]But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke] and as the glory of the pastures. They shall vanish; like smoke shall they consume away.[21]The wicked borrow and pay not again [for they may be unable], but the [uncompromisingly] righteous deal kindly and give [for they are able].[22]For such as are blessed of God shall [in the end] inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off. [Isa. 57:13c.][23]The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].[24]Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.[25]I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread.[26]All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed.[27]Depart from evil and do good; and you will dwell forever [securely].[28]For the Lord delights in justice and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked [in time] shall be cut off.[29][Then] the [consistently] righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.[30]The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks with justice.[31]The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.[32]The wicked lie in wait for the [uncompromisingly] righteous and seek to put them to death.[33]The Lord will not leave them in their hands, or [suffer them to] condemn them when they are judged.[34]Wait for and expect the Lord and keep and heed His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; [in the end] when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.[35]I have seen a wicked man in great power and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil,[36]Yet he passed away, and behold, he was not; yes, I sought and inquired for him, but he could not be found.[37]Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for there is a happy end for the man of peace.[38]As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; in the end the wicked shall be cut off.[39]But the salvation of the [consistently] righteous is of the Lord; He is their Refuge and secure Stronghold in the time of trouble.[40]And the Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they trust and take refuge in Him.

[25]I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread.[26]All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed.
