Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. | No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. |
The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. | The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale. |
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. | Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. |
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, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. |
