Sirach 31:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ One who loves gold will not be justified;
    one who pursues money will be led astray^[a] by it.
⁶ Many have come to ruin because of gold,
    and their destruction has met them face to face.
⁷ It is a stumbling-block to those who are avid for it,
    and every fool will be taken captive by it.
