Ben Sira 5:8

8 Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.

Ben Sira 5:8 In-Context

6 And say not, "His mercy is great; He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins." For mercy and wrath come from Him, and His indignation resteth upon sinners.
7 Do not tarry to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day. For suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed and perish in the day of vengeance.
8 Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.
9 Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way; for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.
10 Be steadfast in thy understanding, and let thy word be the same.
