Job 2:4

4 Then Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.

Psalms 37:16

16 ^aBetter is the little that the righteous has
than the abundance of many wicked.

Proverbs 15:16

16 ^bBetter is a little with the fear of the Lord
than great treasure and trouble with it.

Proverbs 16:16

16 ^cHow much better to get wisdom than ^dgold!
To get understanding is to be chosen rather than ^esilver.

Ecclesiastes 4:6-8

6 ^fBetter is a handful of ^gquietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.

7 ^hAgain, I saw vanity under the sun: 8 one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his ⁱeyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, ^j“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy ^kbusiness.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-16

10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. 11 When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? 12 Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.

13 ^lThere is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, 14 and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand. 15 ^mAs he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand. 16 This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go, and what ⁿgain is there to him who ^otoils for the wind?

Matthew 6:25-26

Do Not Be Anxious

25 ^p“Therefore I tell you, ^qdo not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 ^rLook at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. ^sAre you not of more value than they?
