A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked.
And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
You looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I did blow it away. Why? says the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that is in ruins, and you run every man unto his own house.
If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, says the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because you do not lay it to heart.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
