Job 1:9

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.

“What are the multitude of your sacrifices to me?”, says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed animals. I don’t delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of male goats.

Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

Yahweh makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all! In your hand is power and might! It is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all!

Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.

He will fulfill the desire of those who fear him. He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.

Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.

One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.

For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

Isn’t it lawful for me to do what I want to with what I own? Or is your eye evil, because I am good?’
