⁸ For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?

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.

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:

¹ Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.

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.

⁹ But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

²⁵ For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?

³⁶ For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

¹³ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?

¹⁵ He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil:

³ Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?

⁵ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

³⁴ For the company of the godless shall be barren, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

¹⁶ This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.
