Job 27:16-17

16 Though he ^aheap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and ^bthe innocent will divide the silver.

Psalms 39:6

6 Surely a man ^cgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing ^{▼▼Hebrew Surely as a breath} they are in turmoil;
man ^eheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

Psalms 49:6-13

6 those who ^ftrust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly no man ^gcan ransom another,
or ^hgive to God ⁱthe price of his life,
8 for ^jthe ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9 that he should live on forever
and ^knever see the pit.
10 For he sees ^lthat even the wise die;
^mthe fool and the stupid alike must perish
and ⁿleave their wealth to others.
11 Their ^ograves are their homes forever, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Their inward thought was that their homes were forever}
their dwelling places ^qto all generations,
though they ^rcalled lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp ^swill not remain;
^the is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have ^ufoolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts. ^{▼▼Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts} Selah

Proverbs 13:22

22 ^wA good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
but ^xthe sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.

Proverbs 28:8

8 Whoever multiplies his wealth ^yby interest and profit ^{▼▼That is, profit that comes from charging interest to the poor}
^aagathers it for him who is ^abgenerous to the poor.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-19

The Vanity of Toil

18 I hated ^acall my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must ^adleave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.
