The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.

And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not.

It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer; But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

He that soweth iniquity shall reap calamity; And the rod of his wrath shall fail.

Remove far from me falsehood and lies; Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is needful for me:

As the partridge that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, wherein ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
