- Et dixit Ephraim : Verumtamen dives effectus sum ; inveni idolum mihi : omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem quam peccavi.

- καὶ εἶπεν Ἐφράιμ Πλὴν πεπλούτηκα, εὕρηκα ἀναψυχὴν ἐμαυτῷ. πάντες οἱ πόνοι αὐτοῦ οὐχ εὑρεθήσονται αὐτῷ δι᾽ ἀδικίας ἃς ἥμαρτεν.

- וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶפְרַ֔יִם אַ֣ךְ עָשַׁ֔רְתִּי מָצָ֥אתִי א֖וֹן לִ֑י כָּל יְגִיעַ֕י לֹ֥א יִמְצְאוּ לִ֖י עָוֺ֥ן אֲשֶׁר חֵֽטְא
Haydock's commentary
Idol. Hebrew also, "vanity." Riches are vain, and lead to idolatry when people place their affections on them, Matthew xiii. 22., and Ephesians v. 5.
Committed. I am conscious of no injustice. (Calmet)
Yet he had used a deceitful balance, and his judgment is equally perverse. (Haydock)
"What rich man shall be saved?" (Clement of Alexandria)
