Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: But he that gathereth by labour shall 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 by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, He shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, And considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 shall cast them out of his belly.
But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
Only by pride cometh 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 vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
