Business life » Dishonesty » Unjust gain
The quail sits on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and in his end he shall be a fool.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro by those who seek death.
Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his upper rooms without justice; his neighbor serves without pay, and he does not give him for his work;
Better is a little with righteousness than great gain without right.
He who crushes the poor to multiply for himself, and he who gives to the rich, only to come to poverty.
He who increases his wealth by interest and unjust gain, he shall gather it for him who will pity the poor.
And behold, I have struck My palm against your unjust gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in your midst.
Behold, the hire of the laborers reaping your fields cry out, being kept back by you. And the cries of those who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Greed/gluttony » Greedy gain with trouble
Better is a little with righteousness than great gain without right.

Wealth » What is better than monetary riches

A little to the righteous is better than the riches of many wicked.
Better is the poor who walks in his uprightness than he who is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.

TETH: You have dealt well with Your servant, O Jehovah, according to Your Word. Teach me good judgment and knowledge; for I have believed Your Commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now I have kept Your Word. read more.
You are good, and do good; teach me Your Precepts. The proud have forged a lie against me; I will keep Your Commandments with all my heart. Their heart is without feeling, like fat; but I delight in Your Law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, so that I might learn Your Precepts. The Law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver.

Receive my instruction and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I, wisdom, dwell with sense, and find out knowledge of discretions. read more.
The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; I hate pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the wicked mouth. Counsel and sound wisdom are mine; I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign and princes decree justice. Princes rule by me, and nobles, all the judges of the earth. I love those who love me; and those who seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me; enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and what I give is better than choice silver.
