He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
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.
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.
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil, because I am good?
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.
