1 John 2:17

καὶ κόσμος παράγεται καὶ ἐπιθυμία αὐτοῦ δὲ ποιῶν τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 Peter 4:7

Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε εἰς τὰς προσευχάς·
7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

James 4:14

οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὔριον ποία γάρ ζωὴ ὑμῶν· ἀτμὶς γὰρ ἐστιν πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη ἔπειτα δὲ ἀφανιζομένη
14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Luke 21:34

Προσέχετε δὲ ἑαυτοῖς μήποτε βαρυνθῶσιν ὑμῶν αἱ καρδίαι ἐν κραιπάλῃ καὶ μέθῃ καὶ μερίμναις βιωτικαῖς καὶ αἰφνίδιος ἐφ' ὑμᾶς ἐπιστῇ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη
34
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

1 Peter 1:24

διότι πᾶσα σὰρξ ὡς χόρτος καὶ πᾶσα δόξα ἀνθρώπου ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου· ἐξηράνθη χόρτος καὶ τὸ ἄνθος αὐτοῦ ἐξέπεσεν·
24
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

Ecclesiastes 9:7

לֵךְ אֱכֹל בְּשִׂמְחָה לַחְמֶךָ וּֽשֲׁתֵה בְלֶב-טוֹב יֵינֶךָ כִּי כְבָר רָצָה הָאֱלֹהִים אֶֽת-מַעֲשֶֽׂיךָ׃
7
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

Ecclesiastes 3:12

יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אֵין טוֹב בָּם כִּי אִם-לִשְׂמוֹחַ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת טוֹב בְּחַיָּֽיו׃
12
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

Psalms 39:6

אַךְ-בְּצֶלֶם׀ יִֽתְהַלֶּךְ-אִישׁ אַךְ-הֶבֶל יֶהֱמָיוּן יִצְבֹּר וְֽלֹא-יֵדַע מִי-אֹסְפָֽם׃
6
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Ecclesiastes 1:4

דּוֹר הֹלֵךְ וְדוֹר בָּא וְהָאָרֶץ לְעוֹלָם עֹמָֽדֶת׃
4
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

1 Timothy 6:17

Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε μὴ ὑψηλοφρονεῖν μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι ἀλλ' ἐν τῷ θεῷ τῷ ζῶντι τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν πλουσίως πάντα εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν
17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

Ecclesiastes 2:24

אֵֽין-טוֹב בָּאָדָם שֶׁיֹּאכַל וְשָׁתָה וְהֶרְאָה אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ טוֹב בַּעֲמָלוֹ גַּם-זֹה רָאִיתִי אָנִי כִּי מִיַּד הָאֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
24
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

Ecclesiastes 11:9

שְׂמַח בָּחוּר בְּיַלְדוּתֶיךָ וִֽיטִֽיבְךָ לִבְּךָ בִּימֵי בְחוּרוֹתֶיךָ וְהַלֵּךְ בְּדַרְכֵי לִבְּךָ וּבְמַרְאֵי עֵינֶיךָ וְדָע כִּי עַל-כָּל-אֵלֶּה יְבִֽיאֲךָ הָאֱלֹהִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
9
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

Psalms 73:20

כַּחֲלוֹם מֵהָקִיץ אֲדֹנָי בָּעִיר׀ צַלְמָם תִּבְזֶֽה׃
20
As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Luke 12:15

εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς Ὁρᾶτε καὶ φυλάσσεσθε ἀπὸ τῆς πλεονεξίας ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ περισσεύειν τινὶ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἐκ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ
15
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

James 1:10

δὲ πλούσιος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτοῦ ὅτι ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου παρελεύσεται
10
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

Matthew 25:14

Ὥσπερ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος ἀποδημῶν ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς ἰδίους δούλους καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ
14
For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

Ecclesiastes 5:18

הִנֵּה אֲשֶׁר-רָאִיתִי אָנִי טוֹב אֲשֶׁר-יָפֶה לֶֽאֶכוֹל-וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִרְאוֹת טוֹבָה בְּכָל-עֲמָלוֹ׀ שֶׁיַּעֲמֹל תַּֽחַת-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מִסְפַּר יְמֵֽי-‫(חיו)‬ חַיָּיו אֲשֶׁר-נָֽתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי-הוּא חֶלְקֽוֹ׃
18
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

James 5:1

Ἄγε νῦν οἱ πλούσιοι κλαύσατε ὀλολύζοντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ταλαιπωρίαις ὑμῶν ταῖς ἐπερχομέναις

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

תֶּן-חֵלֶק לְשִׁבְעָה וְגַם לִשְׁמוֹנָה כִּי לֹא תֵדַע מַה-יִּהְיֶה רָעָה עַל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
