2 Esdras 16:43
Print
Let one who does business be as one who makes no profit; one who builds as one who won’t get to live in the building;
let one who sows be like one who will not reap; so also one who prunes the vines, like one who will not gather the grapes;
let the one who does business be like one who will not make a profit; and let the one who builds a house be like one who will not live in it;
let him that sows be like one who will not reap; so also him that prunes the vines, like one who will not gather the grapes;
