5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Proverbs Club Commentary
How much money did that rich guy leave behind when he died?
Every penny of it; plus the Crypto Currency.

26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;

your very bed will be snatched from under you.

22 What a person desires is unfailing love;
better to be poor than a liar.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The phrase “Unfailing Love” is admittedly suspect.
The Hebrew context is uncertain.
It could mean “Good Reputation”, because this is something that most people desire.
Also, it makes sense in the second line.
A poor person has limited resources to help others, and must depend on his actions.
A rich person, who lies about his works, is worse than the poor.
