He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth outside, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you, neither stay in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest you be consumed.
The thoughts of the diligent lead only to plenty; but of everyone that is hasty, only to want.
He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to poverty.
Eat not the bread of him that is stingy, neither desire you his delicacies:
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not go unpunished.
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and perdition.
