Job 20:21

He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.

You will not join them in burial, because you have destroyed your land. You have killed your people. The offspring of evildoers will not be named forever.

He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.

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

Getting treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor for those who seek death.

A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

Yahweh says, “Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David’s throne, and ruling in Judah.”

“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.

“Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;

But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”

In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.

If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin. They shall die childless.

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except you shall take its goods and its livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.”

The king lamented for Abner, and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?

and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.

He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.

He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.

In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.

then let me sow, and let another eat. Yes, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.

The fear of Yahweh prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.

When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right. In the middle of his days, they will leave him. At his end, he will be a fool.

Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.

You who dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your covetousness.

“Indeed they don’t know to do right,” says Yahweh, “Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces.”

You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.

Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don’t fear me,” says Yahweh of Armies.

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.

He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.

Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
