| Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. | No one should seek his own advantage in preference to that of his neighbor. |
| The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. | The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold; he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled. |
| Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. | Wealth hastily acquired will dwindle away, but when amassed little by little, it will increase. |
| Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. | Moreover, the one to whom God grants wealth and possessions and the ability to enjoy them and to find contentment in his toil receives a gift from God. |
