| Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. | Do not seek your own advantage, but that of the other. |
| 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 strong city; in their imagination it is like a high wall. |
| Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. | Wealth hastily gotten will dwindle, but those who gather little by little will increase it. |
| 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. | Likewise all to whom God gives wealth and possessions and whom he enables to enjoy them, and to accept their lot and find enjoyment in their toil—this is the gift of God. |
