Proverbs 3:9-10
KJV—Honour the Lord with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and
thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Amp—Honor the Lord with your capital
and sufficiency [from righteous labors], and
with the first fruits of all your income; So
shall your storage places be filled with
plenty, and your vats be overflowing with
new wine.

Moffatt—Honour the Eternal with your
wealth, and with the best of all you make;
so shall your barns be full of corn, your vats
brim over with new wine.

NIV—Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops; then
your barns will be filled to overflowing, and
your vats will brim over with new wine.

Proverbs 10:2-6
KJV—Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:
but righteousness delivereth from
death. The Lord will not suffer the soul of
the righteous to famish: but he casteth
away the substance of the wicked. He becometh
poor that dealeth with a slack
hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh
rich. He that gathereth in summer is a wise
son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son
that causeth shame. Blessings are upon
the head of the just: but violence covereth
the mouth of the wicked.

Amp—Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness [moral and spiritual
rectitude in every area and relation] delivers
from death. The Lord will not allow the [uncompromisingly]
righteous to famish, but He
thwarts the desire of the wicked. He becomes
poor who works with a slack and idle
hand, but the hand of the diligent makes
rich. He who gathers in summer is a wise
son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son
who causes shame. Blessings are upon the
head of the [uncompromisingly] righteous—
the upright, in right standing with God; but
the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

Moffatt—Ill-gotten gains are never a profit:
’tis honesty that ensures life for man. The
Eternal never stints an honest man: he
thwarts the craving of dishonest men. A
slack hand makes men poor: a busy hand
makes men rich. He who reaps in summer is
a man of sense: he who sleeps through harvest
does a shameful thing. God’s blessing is
upon the good man’s head, but the bad
man’s face shall be darkened with disaster.

NIV—Ill-gotten treasures are of no value,
but righteousness delivers from death. The
Lord does not let the righteous go hungry
but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent
hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops
in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps
during harvest is a disgraceful son. Blessings
crown the head of the righteous, but violence
overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

KJV—Now these are the commandments,
the statutes, and the judgments, which the
Lord your God commanded to teach you,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye
go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the
Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his
commandments, which I command thee, thou,
and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of
thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye
may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy
fathers hath promised thee, in the land that
floweth with milk and honey.

your son’s son, and keep all His statutes
and His commandments, which I command
you, all the days of your life; and that your
days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O
Israel, and be watchful to do them; that it
may be well with you, and that you may
increase exceedingly as the Lord God of
your fathers has promised you, in a land
flowing with milk and honey.

Moffatt—Now here is the code, the rules
and regulations, which the Eternal your
God has directed that you are to be taught
to follow in the land which you are crossing
to make your own, a land abounding with
milk and honey, that you may reverence
the Eternal your God by obeying all his
rules and orders all your life, as I enjoin
them upon you and your sons and your
grandsons, that you may have a long life.
Listen then, Israel, and be mindful to obey,
that things may go well with you, and that
you may multiply greatly, as the Eternal the
God of your fathers has promised you.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2

KJV—It shall come to pass, if thou shalt
hearken diligently unto the voice of the
Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this
day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on
high above all nations of the earth: And all
these blessings shall come on thee, and
overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto
the voice of the Lord thy God.

Amp—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, And all these blessings shall come
upon you and overtake you, if you heed
the voice of the Lord your God.

NIV—If you fully obey the Lord your God
and carefully follow all his commands I give
you today, the Lord your God will set you
high above all the nations on earth. All these
blessings will come upon you and accompany
you if you obey the Lord your God.

Psalm 85:12

KJV—Yea, the Lord shall give that which is
good; and our land shall yield her increase.

Amp—Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.

Moffatt—Yes, the Eternal brings us bliss;
our land is yielding fruit.

NIV—The Lord will indeed give what is
good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalm 92:12-15

Amp—The [uncompromisingly] righteous
shall flourish like the palm tree [be longlived,
stately, upright, useful and fruitful]; he
shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic,
stable, durable and incorruptible]. Planted in
the house of the Lord, they shall flourish
in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace]
they shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality]
and rich in the verdure [of trust, love and
contentment]. [They are living memorials] to
show that the Lord is upright and faithful
to His promises; He is my rock, and there is
no unrighteousness in Him.

NIV—The righteous will flourish like a
palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of
Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will
stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord
is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no
wickedness in him.”

Psalm 115:11-16

Amp—You who (reverently) fear the Lord,
trust and lean on the Lord! He is their help
and their shield. The Lord has been mindful
of us; He will bless us; He will bless the
house of Israel; He will bless the house of
Aaron [the priesthood]. He will bless those
who reverently and worshipfully fear the
Lord, both small and great. The Lord give
you increase more and more, you and your
children. Blessed be you of the Lord, Who
made Heaven and earth! The heavens are
the Lord’s heavens, but the earth has He
given to the children of men.

Moffatt—The Eternal’s worshippers trust in
the Eternal; he is their shield and succour.
The Eternal remembers us, and he will bless
us, he will bless Israel and Aaron’s household,
he will bless his worshippers, both high
and low alike. The Eternal will make you
increase, will multiply you and your children.
Your blessing comes from the Eternal, who
made heaven and earth, the heaven that
the Eternal holds himself, the earth he has
assigned to men.

Psalm 145:8-9

Amp—The Lord is gracious and full of
compassion, slow to anger and abounding in
mercy and loving-kindness. The Lord is
good to all, and His tender mercies are over
all His works—the entirety of things created.

Moffatt—The Eternal is gracious and pitiful,
slow to be angry, very kind; the Eternal is
good to all who look to him, and his compassion
covers all that he has made.

Psalm 37:25-26

KJV—I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful,
and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

Amp—I have been young and now am old,
yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly]
righteous forsaken or his seed begging
bread. All day long he is merciful and deals
graciously; he lends, and his offspring
is blessed.

Moffatt—I have been young and I am old,
but never have I seen good men forsaken;
they always have something to give away,
something wherewith to bless their families.

NIV—I was young and now I am old, yet I
have never seen the righteous forsaken or
their children begging bread. They are always
generous and lend freely; their children
will be blessed.

Psalm 84:1-12

Amp—How lovely are Your tabernacles, O
Lord of hosts! My soul yearns, yes, even
pines and is homesick for the courts of the
Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out and
sing for joy to the living God. Yes, the sparrow
has found a house, and the swallow a
nest for herself, where she may lay her
young, even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.

Blessed—happy, fortunate [to be envied]—
are those who dwell in Your house and
Your presence; they will be singing Your
praises all the day long. Selah [pause, and
calmly think of that]. Blessed—happy, fortunate
[to be envied]—is the man whose
strength is in You; in whose heart are the
highways to Zion. Passing through the valley
of weeping they make it a place of
springs; the early rain also fills [the pools]
with blessings. They go from strength to
strength—increasing in victorious power;
each of them appears before God in Zion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah [pause, and
calmly think of that]! Behold our shield [the
king as Your agent], O God, and look upon
the face of Your anointed! For a day in
Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere
else]; I had rather be a doorkeeper
and stand at the threshold in the house of
my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents
of wickedness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the
Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and
[future] glory—honor, splendor and heavenly
bliss! No good thing will He withhold from
those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts,
blessed—happy, fortunate [to be envied]—is
the man who trusts in You, (leaning and
believing on You, committing all and confidently
looking to You, and that without
fear or misgiving)!

You don’t have to talk God into the idea of
prospering you. Since the Garden of Eden, prosperity
and blessing have been His idea.
Many times in the Bible, God promises His people
that He will bless them. And that word “bless”
encompasses a wide range of good things that He
wants to do for us. In Vine’s Expository Dictionary of
Biblical Words, “bless” is defined as “to prosper, to make
happy, to bestow blessings on.” Webster’s Dictionary
defines “bless” as “to set apart or consecrate for
holy purposes, to make and pronounce holy, to
make happy, to make successful, to make prosperous
in temporal concerns or pertaining to this life,
to keep, to guard, to preserve.”
God has always prospered His people. He made
the earth for mankind—for His people. He delights
and takes great pleasure in prospering you.
As you study the Scriptures, you’ll see that it
is clearly God’s will for you to prosper spiritually,
mentally, physically and financially.
He wants you to experience His abundant
provision in every area of your life.
When you believe God is not only able, but
also willing to meet all your needs, your life
will overflow with the abundant blessings
He always intended for you to enjoy.

Deuteronomy 7:13

KJV—He will love thee, and bless thee, and
multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit
of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy
corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase
of thy kine, and the flocks of thy
sheep, in the land which he sware unto
thy fathers to give thee.

Amp—He will love you, bless you, and
multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of
your body and the fruit of your land, your
grain, your new wine, and your oil, the
increase of your cattle and the young of
your flock, in the land which He swore to
your fathers to give you.

Moffatt—He will love you, prosper you,
and multiply you, he will prosper the fruit of
your womb and the fruit of your ground,
your corn and wine and oil, the young of
your cattle and the lambs of your flock, in
the land which he swore to your fathers
that he would give to you.

NIV—He will love you and bless you and
increase your numbers. He will bless the
fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—
your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of
your herds and the lambs of your flocks in
the land that he swore to your forefathers
to give you.

1 Chronicles 29:11-12

KJV—Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and
the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven
and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom,
O Lord, and thou art exalted as head
above all. Both riches and honour come of
thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine
hand is power and might; and in thine hand
it is to make great, and to give strength
unto all.

Amp—Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and
the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens
and the earth is Yours; Yours is the
Kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted
as head over all. Both riches and
honor come from You, and You reign over
all. In Your hand are power and might; in
Your hand it is to make great and to give
strength to all.

Moffatt—Thine, O Eternal, is the greatness
and the power and the glory and the preeminence
and the majesty, for all in heaven
and earth is thine; thine is the dominion, O
Eternal, and thine the supreme authority!
Riches and honour come from thee, who
reignest over all; in thy hand lie power and
might, and in thy hand it lies to make all
great and strong.

NIV—Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and
the power and the glory and the majesty
and the splendor, for everything in heaven
and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the
kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you; you are
the ruler of all things. In your hands are
strength and power to exalt and give
strength to all.
