લોભી વ્યક્તિ પૈસાદાર થવા માટે દોડે છે, પણ તેને ખબર નથી કે તેના પર દરિદ્રતા આવી પડશે.

लोभी जन धन प्राप्त करने में उतावली करता है, और नहीं जानता कि वह घटी में पड़ेगा। (1 तीमु. 6:9)

In context

20A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.

21To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

22A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.

23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.

24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
