Proverbs 21:6

¹¹Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

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

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.

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

³⁶But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”

⁹But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. ¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

³In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

⁸Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

¹⁴“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

⁸He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
