Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what was our father's he has acquired all this wealth.

lest, when you have eaten and been filled, and have built beautiful houses and dwelt in them;

when your heart is lifted up, and you forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches:

None of them can at all redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him

for when he dies he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.

Behold, the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was strong in his wickedness.

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery; if riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

He who trusts in his riches shall fall, but the righteous shall sprout like foliage.

lest I be full and deny You and say, Who is Jehovah? Or lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
