Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
have the wisdom to show restraint.
Cast but a glance at riches,
and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Proverbs 23:4,5 NIV

The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:12-14 KJV

They cannot satisfy their appetite nor can they fill their stomachs, for their iniquity has become an occasion of stumbling."
Ezekiel 7:19 NASB

May you be filled with joy
Honor God by accepting each other, as Christ has accepted you. I tell you that Christ came as a servant of the Jews to show that God has kept the promises he made to their famous ancestors. Christ also came, so that the Gentiles would praise God for being kind to them. It is just as the Scriptures say,
"I will tell the nations about you,
and I will sing praises to your name."
The Scriptures also say to the Gentiles, "Come and celebrate with God's people."
Again the Scriptures say,
"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles.
All you nations, come and worship him."
Isaiah says,
"Someone from David's family
will come to power.
He will rule the nations,
and they will put their hope in him."
I pray that God, who gives hope, will bless you with complete happiness and peace because of your faith. And may the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.
Romans 15:7-13 CEV
