    Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
  • Psalms 37:16
    It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich.
  • Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
    Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth— except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.
  • Proverbs 28:6
    Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich.
  • Ecclesiastes 2:18-23
    I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned.And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!So I gave up in despair, questioning the value of all my hard work in this world.Some people work wisely with knowledge and skill, then must leave the fruit of their efforts to someone who hasn’t worked for it. This, too, is meaningless, a great tragedy.So what do people get in this life for all their hard work and anxiety?Their days of labor are filled with pain and grief; even at night their minds cannot rest. It is all meaningless.
  • Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
    Anything I wanted, I would take. I denied myself no pleasure. I even found great pleasure in hard work, a reward for all my labors.But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless— like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.
  • Proverbs 10:22
    The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
