Riches » The wicked » Profit not by
Riches will not provide security in the day of wrath and judgment,
But righteousness rescues from death.
There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all;
Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what advantage is there to their owners except to see them with their eyes?
Riches » Vanity of heaping up
“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.
He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance with gain. This also is vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility)! When goods increase, they who eat them increase also. And what gain is there to their owner except to see them with his eyes?
