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

²⁰ A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.

⁵ Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.

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

⁸ but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves;

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,

¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- `even' God.'

²¹ Wo `to' the wise in their own eyes, And -- before their own faces -- intelligent!

¹² Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;

¹⁹ `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,

²⁷ A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.

⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside from evil.
