S – The house of the righteous has great wealth, but trouble accompanies the income of the wicked. 

Proverbs 15:6 CSB

O – “wealth” – chôçen; wealth:— riches, strength, treasure

“Trouble” – âkar,  to roil water; fig. to disturb or afflict:— trouble, stir.

 James Strong, The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1996).

The wealth of worldly men increases their fears and suspicions, adds strength to their passions, and renders the fear of death more distressing. 

Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary

A – This verse doesn’t make a judgment on wealth.  Instead, it characterizes what is associated with a person’s income.  Righteousness yields a depth of strength and peace while wickedness is similar to boiling water that constantly strives, agitates and collides within itself.  Righteousness eliminates more drama in your life.

R – Heavenly Father, thank you for the ability to make an income.  You bless us in so many ways.  We choose to submit to you today.  We invite your peace and wisdom to guard our minds and hearts from turmoil and fear in our finances.
