Wisdom 15:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ His heart is ashes, his hopes of less value than common dirt,
    and his life less worthy than clay,
¹¹ because he failed to recognize the one who fashioned him
    and breathed into him an active soul
    and infused into him a living spirit.
¹² Indeed, he considered this life of ours as an idle game,
    and our span of years as a market that will be a source of profit.
    “No matter how wicked the means,” he says, “one must make a living.”
