³⁶ Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has 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 Why my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.

⁵ My heart cries out for Moab; her nobles [flee] to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah: 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 corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

²⁰ "But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared--whose will they be?'

²¹ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

¹¹ As the partridge that sits on [eggs] which she has not laid, so is he who gets 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 can't hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

¹⁵ Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory: where are your zeal and your mighty acts? the yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

¹³ There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

¹⁴ Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.

¹¹ The rich man's wealth is his strong city, Like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.

²² A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.

⁴ Riches don't profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
