Proverbs 10:15

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.

Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.

For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.

and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

Behold, these are the wicked. Being always at ease, they increase in riches.

who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

All the relatives of the poor shun him: how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yahweh.

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroys much good.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes the life glad; and money is the answer for all things.

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.

How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”

by your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won’t strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.

Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.

Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.

Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength;

Don’t boast about tomorrow; for you don’t know what a day may bring.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

“Return, backsliding children,” says Yahweh; “for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come,’ so now I tell you.

Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

“If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold, ‘You are my confidence;’

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.

The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.

Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.

lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

There is no man who has power over the spirit to contain the spirit; neither does he have power over the day of death. There is no discharge in war; neither shall wickedness deliver those who practice it.

Then I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Then your people will all be righteous. They will inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

Yahweh says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to me?’

I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

“But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;
