He will not become rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.
His children must recompense the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth.
He gives back what he toiled for without swallowing it; he will not enjoy the riches of his trade.
Though he piles up silver like dust, and clothing like heaps of mortar,
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
Whoever increases his wealth by exorbitant interest, gathers it for one kinder to the poor.
For to the one who pleases Him, He gives wisdom, knowledge and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating wealth to give it to one who pleases God. This also is only vapor and striving after the wind.
Howl, inhabitants of Maktesh! For all the people of Canaan are destroyed. All who weigh out silver are cut off.
