Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
You shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst.
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.*
*You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?* says the LORD of Armies, *Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
If you will not listen, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name,* says the LORD of Armies, *then will I send the curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
But he answered, *It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'*
