Proverbs 13:11

²¹An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.

²Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.

¹Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you. ²Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten. ³Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days. ⁴Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.^5[+] You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

⁸He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

²²A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. ²³An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields, but injustice sweeps it away.

¹⁶Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay; ¹⁷he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.

²³Know well the state of your flocks, and pay attention to your herds, ²⁴for riches are not forever, nor does the crown endure to all generations. ²⁵The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in. ²⁶The lambs are for your clothing, and the goats are the price of a field. ²⁷There will be plenty of goats’ milk for your food, for your family’s food, and for the nourishment of your servant girls.

²⁰A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

²²A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.

¹¹As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.
