22 To this he said: “All is well. My master+ himself has sent me,+ saying, ‘Look! Just now there have come to me two young men from the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im from the sons of the prophets.+ Do give them, please, a talent* of silver and two changes of garments.’”+

21 An inheritance is being got by greed* at first,+ but its own future will not be blessed.+

11 [As] the partridge that has gathered together* what it has not laid is the one making riches, but not with justice.+ At the half of his days he will leave them,+ and in his finale he will prove to be senseless.”+

9 However, those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation+ and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires,+ which plunge men into destruction and ruin.+
