Wisdom 15:10-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁰ Their heart is ashes, their hope is cheaper than dirt,
and their lives are of less worth than clay,
¹¹ because they failed to know the one who formed them
and inspired them with active souls
and breathed a living spirit into them.
¹² But they considered our existence an idle game,
and life a festival held for profit,
for they say one must get money however one can, even by base means.
