There was a certain man—without a dependent, having neither a child nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor.

Are only intent on your own dishonest gain,
On shedding innocent blood,
On oppression and extortion and violence.”

When you set your eyes on wealth, it is [suddenly] gone.

Like an eagle that flies to the heavens.

Nor is the ear filled with hearing.
