Be wise enough not to wear yourself out trying to get rich.

Honest people will lead a full, happy life. But if you are in a hurry to get rich, you are going to be punished.

Selfish people are in such a hurry to get rich that they do not know when poverty is about to strike.

But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction.

Good people will have wealth to leave to their grandchildren, but the wealth of sinners will go to the righteous.

If you get rich by charging interest and taking advantage of people, your wealth will go to someone who is kind to the poor.

The wicked may have too much silver to count and more clothes than anyone needs;

but some good person will wear the clothes, and someone honest will get the silver.

The conquered people will taunt their conquerors and show their scorn for them. They will say, "You take what isn't yours, but you are doomed! How long will you go on getting rich by forcing your debtors to pay up?"

The LORD Almighty says that he will send this curse out, and it will enter the house of every thief and the house of everyone who tells lies under oath. It will remain in their houses and leave them in ruins."

You must honor me by what you do. If you will not listen to what I say, then I will bring a curse on you. I will put a curse on the things you receive for your support. In fact, I have already put a curse on them, because you do not take my command seriously.
