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

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

"Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

He said to them, "Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses."
