Bible References

Mine heart

My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.

My heart is crying out for Moab; her people go in flight to Zoar, and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for they go up with weeping by the slope of Luhith; on the way to Horonaim they send up a cry of destruction.

For this cause the cords of my heart are sounding for Moab, and I am full of sorrow for Kir-heres.

Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:

Kir-heres

For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.

The riches

Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.

Wealth is of no profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness keeps a man safe from death.

The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.

The property of a man of wealth is his strong town, and it is as a high wall in the thoughts of his heart.

There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.

For this cause they will take away their wealth, and the stores they have got together, over the stream of the water-plants.

But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
