He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,
      And he who gives to the rich,
            will surely come to poverty.

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth,
         Cease from your consideration of it. 

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
         For wealth certainly makes itself wings
         Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

                                                                           King Solomon

     "There is a generation that curses its father,
      And does not bless its mother. 
      There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
      Yet is not washed from its filthiness. 
      There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
      And their eyelids are lifted up. 
      There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
      And whose fangs are like knives,
      To devour the poor from off the earth,
      And the needy from among men."

                                                     King Solomon
