Proverbs 10:15 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
This is some good verses where we see first that money can buy anything a man may want but how he decides to use his money is what is important and the poor just have what they have. A lot times people just say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer but if the poor have a desire to work they can pull themselves up out of that situation. We should all be content with whatever state we are in. While the rich man thinks he has his walled city for protection, the poor man knows he has nothing. Both should trust in the Lord as their only protection. Next we see those that labor are usually hard working and law abiding citizens with deep spiritual convictions which lead to eternal life.On the other hand those who do not like to work are usually dishonest and what they do leads to sin. Finally we should be eager to receive instruction because it helps us not make mistakes. While the person who rejects instruction is a fool and and has completely stop growing.
