And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-14
He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes?The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.
