⁶ Those who ^(A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,

⁷ “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his ^[a]wickedness.”

⁴ With your wisdom and your understanding
You have gained ^(A)riches for yourself,
And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;
^5 (B)By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,
And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”

⁸ And Ephraim said,
^(A)‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’

^5 [a]Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
