Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.
An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.
He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor.
He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.
As the partridge that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.
By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
