His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
