Beauty is not much, if the woman with it does not know how to act. It is hard to appreciate a nose ring on a stinking, grunting, and hairy pig! Such is an attractive woman without the personal graces to be pleasant company. An average looking woman without discretion is just the sow without the nose ring!
Proverbs 23:27
For a whore is a deep ditch, and a strange woman is a narrow pit. (KJV)

Honor Yahweh with your substance,
with the first fruits of all your increase:
so your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.

Proverbs 21:6 (NLT)
6 Wealth created by lying is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap. [1]
[1]
As in the Greek version; Hebrew reads, mist for those who seek death.

Not specified in Bible reference; daytime.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Sunlight from above illuminates this scene, making dark, threatening shadows in the pit!
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
A Hebrew man.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This is my fairly literal interpretation of this Proverb. The message version (see below) makes the meaning fairly plain: if you get to the top (e.g. promoted in your field of work) by cheating and lying, then you may well succeed, but only to die in the achievement! This is a Proverb designed to get the reader to check his or her moral compass, before calamity comes if it is pointing in the wrong moral direction!
Bible References.
Here are some other Bible versions of this particular Proverb, which gives a slightly different emphasis on it:
Proverbs 21:6 (MSG)
Make it to the top by lying and cheating;
get paid with smoke and a promotion—to death!
Proverbs 21:6 (GW)
Those who gather wealth by lying are wasting time.
They are looking for death.
Proverbs 21:6 (ANIV)
6 A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapour and a deadly snare. [2]
Proverbs 21:6 (AMP)
Securing treasures by a lying tongue is a vapor driven to and fro; those who seek them seek death.
[2]
Some Hebrew manuscripts; Septuagint and Vulgate; some Hebrew manuscripts, vapour for those who seek death.
“Of them that seek death—Instead of mebakshey, "them that seek," several manuscripts, some ancient editions, with Symmachus, the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic, have mokeshey, the snares. He who gets treasures by a lying tongue, pursues vanity into the snares of death. Our common translation may be as good. But he who, by the snares of his tongue, endeavors to buy and sell to the best advantage, is pursuing what is empty in itself; and he is ensnared by death, while he is attempting to ensnare others.”
[Source: Adam Clarke's Commentary]
“Verses 6-8 refer to the wicked—their lying, violence, and devious actions. Wealth (a fortune) acquired in dishonest ways (by lying) will not last (cf. 10:2; 13:11); it will fade quickly like a vapor (cf. 23:4-5; 27:24). And a deadly snare is the way some Hebrew manuscripts, the Septuagint, and the Vulgate read, but most Hebrew manuscripts read “seekers of death” or “for those who seek death.” The thought is either that money gained dishonestly will ensnare rather than bless a person, ultimately bringing him to his death, or that seeking money dishonestly is like seeking or pursuing death.”

Unless there is a chineese proverb that says
this... (and there possible could, as they have
been around long before me) this is the first
Bob proverb ever. ;)
Choose a good reputation over great riches;
being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
God gets pleasure from pouring out His abundance on the obedient and faithful. We are told, “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.… That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:17-18, 21).
