Deceive no man by wrongful dealing: increase not thy goods by extortion, nor by usury: he that giveth his money unto usury, shall not enter into the tabernacle of the Lord. He that taketh usury of his neighbour, killeth him without a sword. The Lord will avenge it: he will not bless ill gotten goods: they cannot prosper: they will never continue, nor remain unto the third heir.

The Lord wyll auenge it: he wil not blesse yl gotten goods: they cannot prosper: they wyll neuer continue, nor remayne vnto the third heire.
My son, in all thy doings fear the Lord. If thou fear the Lord, thou shalt prosper, & in the day of thine end, thou shalt be blessed. Meddle not much with other mens business, least thou be entangled with controversies: abhor the slanderer & double tongued. Let my doings which am thy father, be ever before thine eyes. Those few goods which I have, were truly gotten. I have not gathered them of the tears, and heaviness, and undoing, or hindering of any. Be faithful to thy wife, and besides her know none other. Help thy neighbour according to thy power: and turn not thy face from the poor & needy. Be merciful after thy power. If thou hast much, give plenteously: if thou hast little, do thy diligence gladly to give of that little. Be not slow to visit the sick: whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.
