For God gives to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping up, only that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping of the wind.

Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their wealth.

He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

He shall not see the rivers, the brooks flowing with honey and butter.

Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away a house which he built not;

There shall none of his food be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yea, the glittering sword comes out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and pile up clothing as the clay;

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

Surely every man walks in a vain show: surely they are in turmoil in vain: he heaps up riches, and knows not who shall gather them.

Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

You looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I did blow it away. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that is in ruins, and you run every man unto his own house.

Since those days were, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the winepress to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

I struck you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you turned not to me, says the LORD.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up.

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the rubbish, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he has set the world upon them.

And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

Let the extortioner catch all that he has; and let the strangers spoil his labor.
