³⁶ Therefore my heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and my heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.

⁷ Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over the brook of the willows.

¹¹ Wherefore my heart soundeth like a harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kir-heres.

⁵ My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles `flee' unto Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

² Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

³ Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.

²⁰ But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

²¹ So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

¹¹ As the partridge that sitteth on `eggs' which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

¹⁹ My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

¹⁵ Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me.

¹³ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, `namely', riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:

¹⁴ and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

¹¹ The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.

²² A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

⁴ Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death.
