Verse 16. Gracious woman - A woman endued with the grace of God. Retaineth - Or, holdeth fast her honour, or reputation.
Verse 18. Worketh - A work which will deceive his expectation. Soweth - That worketh it with constancy, and diligence.
Verse 21. Though hand join - Though they are fortified against God's judgments by a numerous issue and kindred, and friends, and by mutual and strong combinations. The seed - Not only their persons, but their children.
Verse 22. So is a fair woman without discretion - "Of beauty vain, of virtue void, What art thou in the sight of God? A slave to every base desire, A creature wallowing in the mire. Go, gaudy pageant of a day, Thy folly, with thy face display: Set all thy charms and graces out, And shew - the Jewel in thy snout!"
Verse 23. The desire - The desires and expectations of the righteous shall end in their happiness, but the desires and expectations of the wicked men shall be disappointed, and end in the wrath of God.

Excuse me, but this is a re-run, but I only have one answer. No matter how the Bible is analyzed, it is flawed. Strictly discussing only the New Testament, translators had complete discretion over content. If a story wasn’t complete, multiple stories were woven together to form one book. Pieces were moved around and put together like a puzzle. When a turn of a phrase seemed to even slightly disagree with the Church, it was removed in its entirety. We now know that multiple scrolls of material, intended to be included as part of the Bible, were carefully hidden instead. This was necessary to avoid destruction of both the authors, and the information. Scripted Codices, have slowly been discovered. They’ve been carbon dated and authenticated by experts to prove they were written at the same time the Bible was written. Numerous experts believe these writings were intended to be part of the original Bible. However, it is also true to say that these compositions are still the cause of great debate. The New Testament was written two centuries after The Christ was crucified. Before the Bible was let loose to commoners, these powerful people had just simply raped it. When one controls the religion of a people, they then control those people. This is why it was so important to make sure the Bible only told the stories approved of by the King and his Church. It also explains the hiding of certain texts. If anything written even smacks of freedom for the common man, it must be destroyed. For if it was found that the King was not god, the King could loose his ability to control his kingdom. As the translators were loyal to the King, the Bible was edited very carefully indeed. Speaking only of the New Testament, the Bible remains one of the very best set of life instructions known to man. There is only one, most important law. It is: To love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might, and to love thy neighbor as you love yourself. If this Law is followed to the letter, it isn’t possible to break even one of the old Ten Commandments. When Jesus was born, all prophecies from the Old Testament were fulfilled. The Old Testament passed away with the first coming of the Christ. The Ten Commandments were no longer relevant. This Commandment was the only one needed in order to not sin, and live as God wants man to live. You should only believe if your heart feels something is true. I will tell you eventually. Blessed Be

Absolutely yes. Those who earn a dishonest living might amass a great deal more financial wealth than someone earning an honest living.
Remember what Jesus said about "storing up treasure in Heaven." A person making an honest living, though he may not become financially wealthy, will be rich in Spirit and "reap the sure reward" of Eternal life in Heaven.
Financial wealth has no bearing in the afterlife.

I'll agree with that one. But not in the form of Hell or Heaven.
A man with no morals is a pitiful man, even if he is happy, because he has abdicated any value he may have been to society. In his own eyes he may have worth, but he has made himself a negative in the equation that is humanity.
The man who lives by morals has contributed to humanity and even if his name is forgotten and no one remembers him, his contribution can never be taken from him.

Yes... Simple terms- You reap what you sow.
Treat people badly, they'll treat you the same. Live with lawlessness, die with pain & suffering of diseases (or any other ailments that cause mankind grief). Live with love in your heart, die with peace of mind & happiness.
