TSK · Proverbs 21:6

Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.

“It’s worthless! It’s worthless!” says the buyer, but when he goes on his way, he boasts.

The one who sows iniquity will reap trouble, and the rod of his fury will end.

The person who gathers wealth by unjust means is like the partridge that broods over eggs but does not hatch them. Before his life is half over he will lose his ill-gotten gains. At the end of his life it will be clear he was a fool.”

Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.
