Better a little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure with turmoil.

The little that the righteous man has is better
than the abundance of many wicked people.

Better a little with righteousness
than great income with injustice.

But godliness with contentment is a great gain.

The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile.

The Lord’s blessing enriches,
and struggle adds nothing to it.

Better a poor man who lives with integrity
than a rich man who distorts right and wrong.

All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles.

I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.
