Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-14
He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.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?The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
