“Maketh rich”

Proverbs 10:4 KJV — He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

  • 1 Samuel 2:7…The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich…
  • Proverbs 10:4…but the hand of the diligent maketh rich…
  • Proverbs 10:22…The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it.
