Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. - Ecclesiastes 7:14 NLT

Extortion turns wise people into fools, and bribes corrupt the heart. - Ecclesiastes 7:7 NLT

“Fools fold their idle hands, leading them to ruin.” And yet, “Better to have one handful with quietness than two handfuls with hard work and chasing the wind.” - Ecclesiastes 4:5-6 NLT

I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to a man’s jealousy of his friend. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind. - Ecclesiastes 4:4 HCSB

If you see oppression of the poor and perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, don’t be astonished at the situation, because one official protects another official, and higher officials protect them. - Ecclesiastes 5:8 HCSB

Wisdom is even better when you have money. Both are a benefit as you go through life. Wisdom and money can get you almost anything, but only wisdom can save your life. - Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 NLT

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? - Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 ESV
