10:24 Correct us, Lord, but only in due measure.
Do not punish us in anger or you will reduce us to nothing.
4:2 You must be truthful, honest and upright
when you take an oath saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives!’
If you do,
and will make him the object of their boasting.”
17:11 The person who gathers wealth by unjust means
is like the partridge that broods over eggs but does not hatch them.
Before his life is half over he will lose his ill-gotten gains.
At the end of his life it will be clear he was a fool.”
