Proverbs 8:17-21
KJV—I love them that love me; and those
that seek me early shall find me. Riches and
honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness. My fruit is better than gold,
yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than
choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Amp—I love those who love me, and those
who seek me early and diligently shall find
me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring
wealth, and righteousness [that is, uprightness
in every area and relation, and right
standing with God]. My fruit is better than
gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase
than choice silver. [Wisdom] walk in the way
of righteousness [of moral and spiritual rectitude
in every area and relation], in the
midst of the paths of justice, That I may
cause those who love me to inherit [true]
riches, and that I may fill their treasuries.

Moffatt—Those who love me, I love them;
those who seek me find me. I hold wealth
and honour, position and good fortune; what
I yield is better than the best of gold, what I
bring in is better than rare silver. I deal right
fairly, justly do I act, enriching those who
love me, and filling their stores full.

NIV—I love those who love me, and those
who seek me find me. With me are riches
and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield
surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of
righteousness, along the paths of justice,
bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.

Ecclesiastes 5:19
KJV—Every man also to whom God hath
given riches and wealth, and hath given him
power to eat thereof…and to rejoice in his
labour; this is the gift of God.

Amp—Every man to whom God has given
riches and possessions and power to enjoy
them…and to rejoice in his toil, this is the gift
of God to him.

all…and to enjoy himself as he toils.

and possessions, and enables him to enjoy
them…and be happy in his work—this is a
gift of God.

Jeremiah 29:11
KJV—For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end.

Amp—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.

for you, a purpose of weal, not of woe, to
let you have hope for the future.

declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and
a future.”

KJV—He [God] left not himself without witness,
in that he did good, and gave us rain
from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our
hearts with food and gladness.

Amp—He [God] did not neglect to leave
some witness of Himself, for He did you
good and kindnesses, and gave you rains
from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with nourishment and happiness.

Moffatt—As the bountiful Giver he [God]
did not leave himself without a witness,
giving you rain from heaven and fruitful
seasons, giving you food and joy to your
heart’s content.

NIV—He [God] has not left himself without
testimony: He has shown kindness by giving
you rain from heaven and crops in their
seasons; he provides you with plenty of
food and fills your hearts with joy.

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.
