Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:

She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
