He who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished…A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth, and does not know that want will come upon him. (Proverbs 28:20,22).
The borrower becomes the lender’s slave. (Proverbs 22:7).
The wicked borrows and does not pay back. (Psalm 37:21).
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, than he who is crooked though he be rich. (Proverbs 28:6).
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. (1 Timothy 6:9-10).
Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is my portion, lest I be full and deny Thee and say, “Who is the LORD?” or lest I be in want and steal and profane the name of my God. (Proverbs 30:8-9).
