Don’t wear yourself out to get rich;
stop giving your attention to it.

A faithful man will have many blessings,
but one in a hurry to get rich
will not go unpunished.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding;

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion
and clever in their own sight.

Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.

Don’t consider yourself to be wise;
fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

The one who profits dishonestly troubles his household,
but the one who hates bribes will live.

“Don’t collect for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him.”

So that you will not be conceited, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery: A partial hardening has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

But if we have food and clothing,
we will be content with these.
