Riches » The wicked » Profit not by
Wealth does not profit on the day of wrath, but righteousness will deliver from death.
There is one who acts rich but {has nothing}; another who pretends to be poor but [has] wealth.
When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. {So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent}.
Riches » Vanity of heaping up
Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].
Whoever loves money is not satisfied [with] money, and whoever loves wealth [is] not [satisfied with] profit. This also [is] vanity! When prosperity increases, those who consume it increase. {So its owner gains nothing, except to see his wealth before it is spent}.
