어떤 사람은 아들도 없고 형제도 없으니 아무도 없이 홀로 있으나 수고하기를 마지 아니하며 부를 눈에 족하게 여기지 아니하면서도 이르기를 내가 누구를 위하여 수고하고 내 심령으로 낙을 누리지 못하게 하는고 하나니 이것도 헛되어 무익한 노고로다
Sha'arei Kedusha
Greed is the father of all impurity. It brings to hatred and envy, as well as theft, false oaths and even murder. This prohibition is the last of the Ten Commandments and is equal to them all, since459Ecclesiastes 4:8 “his eye is never sated with wealth,” like the eye of the snake, about whom it states,460Isaiah 65:25 “The food of the snake shall be dust.” Similarly, it is written,461Proverbs 28:22 “One who is overeager for wealth has an evil eye, he does not know that want may befall him.”
