5 Bible Verses about Lotteries

Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles,
But he who gathers gradually by [honest] labor will increase [his riches].

Do not weary yourself [with the overwhelming desire] to gain wealth;
Cease from your own understanding of it.

A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings,
But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.

He who has an evil and envious eye hurries to be rich
And does not know that poverty will come upon him.

But those who [are not financially ethical and] crave to get rich [with a compulsive, greedy longing for wealth] fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction [leading to personal misery]. For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows.
