⁸ Better is a little with righteousness, than great wealth with wrongdoing.

¹⁶ The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

¹⁶ Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.

¹⁰ Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?

¹¹ Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

⁷ For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

⁸ But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

⁹ But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

⁶ He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death.

⁷ By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right.
