Bhagavad Gita 16.12 — Wealth by unjust means

आशापाशशतैर्बद्धाः कामक्रोधपरायणाः। ईहन्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्चयान् ॥

āśāpāśaśatairbaddhāḥ kāmakrodhaparāyaṇāḥ | īhante kāmabhogārthamanyāyenārthasañcayān ||

Meaning

Bound by hundreds of ropes of hope, ruled by lust and anger, they try to pile up wealth by unfair means to satisfy their desires.
