Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivers from death.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.

It is nothing, it is nothing, says the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

He that sows iniquity shall reap trouble: and the rod of his anger shall fail.

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food needful for me:

As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Whose mouths must be stopped, who ruin whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain.

And through covetousness shall they with false words exploit you: whose judgment of old now lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

But he that sins against me wrongs his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, O house of Israel?
