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

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

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

He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: 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 convenient for me:

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth 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 drown men in 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 subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

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