Proverbs 18:11

A rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.

The rich man’s wealth is his fortress,
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.

“Indeed their rock is not like our Rock,
Even our enemies themselves judge this.

“If I have put my confidence in gold,
And called fine gold my trust,

Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?

But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
But righteousness delivers from death.

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’
