¹⁵ And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

⁵ For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to the heavens.

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,

¹⁴ yea, because, who `am' I, and who `are' my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee `is' the whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to Thee;

⁴ Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is not.

¹⁰ Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied `with' silver, nor he who is in love with stores `with' increase. Even this `is' vanity.

²¹ for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.

²¹ `And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

¹⁶ To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get understanding to be chosen than silver!

⁴ Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness delivereth from death.

¹⁶ Better `is' a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.

⁷ render, therefore, to all `their' dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour.

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --

⁶ for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;

²² The desirableness of a man `is' his kindness, And better `is' the poor than a liar.

⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase;

¹⁴ In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all wealth.

¹¹ Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.

¹¹ The wealth of the rich `is' the city of his strength, And as a wall set on high in his own imagination.

¹⁶ Better `is' the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.

¹⁷ For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is sustaining the righteous.

¹⁸ Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is -- to the age.

² Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness delivereth from death.

²² The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.

⁸ Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion,

⁵ Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,'

¹ A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and than gold -- good grace.
