16  Though he ^oheap up silver like dust,

and pile up clothing like clay,

17  he may pile it up, ^pbut the righteous will wear it,

and the innocent will divide the silver.

22  A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

^ubut the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous.

8  Whoever multiplies his wealth by ^zinterest and profit¹

^agathers it for him who is generous to the poor.
