If I have made gold my hope, or said to fine gold, you are my confidence;

Surely every man walks about like a shadow! Surely they are stirred up in vain. He heaps up the produce, and does not know who shall gather it.

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

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver!

Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle into the heavens.

For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives labor, to collect and gather, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with gain. This also is vanity.

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

But those riches perish by evil use. And he begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. But all the earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy. For He shall make a complete and speedy end of all those who live in the land.

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of God.

And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

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.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your calamities that are coming upon you.

Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world.
