“If anyone sins and commits a breach of faith against Yahweh by deceiving his neighbor in a matter of deposit or security, or through robbery,
or if he has oppressed his neighbor or has found something lost and lied about it, swearing falsely—
in any of all the things that people do and sin thereby—
if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression
or the deposit that was committed to him
or the lost thing that he found or anything about which he has sworn falsely,
he shall restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt."- Leviticus 6:2-5
"Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
his soul will go to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again see light.
Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish."
"A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has understanding will find him out."
