Of what profit is it
to have gain without pain?
Of what profit is it
to have silver without a good name?
Of what profit is it
to have life without peace?
Of what profit is it
to have money without use?
Of what profit is it to turn
your back at your neighbour in time of need?
Of what profit is it to make your fellow cry behind closed
doors?
Of what profit is it
to gain the whole world
and lose your precious soul?
