Job 31:24-25, Psa 49:6-20, 62:9-10, 1Ti 6:17 | ESV | STEP | If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence ,

Job 31:24-25

24 ^a“If I have made gold my ^btrust
or called ^cfine gold my confidence,
25 if I have ^drejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because ^emy hand had found much,

Psalms 49:6-20

6 those who ^ftrust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly no man ^gcan ransom another,
or ^hgive to God ⁱthe price of his life,
8 for ^jthe ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9 that he should live on forever
and ^knever see the pit.
10 For he sees ^lthat even the wise die;
^mthe fool and the stupid alike must perish
and ⁿleave their wealth to others.
11 Their ^ograves are their homes forever, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew Their inward thought was that their homes were forever}
their dwelling places ^qto all generations,
though they ^rcalled lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp ^swill not remain;
^the is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have ^ufoolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts. ^{▼▼Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts} Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright ^wshall rule over them in the morning.
^xTheir form shall be consumed ^yin Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15 But God will ^zransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will ^aareceive me. Selah
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 ^abFor when he dies he will ^accarry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself ^adblessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19 his soul will ^aego to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again ^afsee light.
20 ^agMan in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 62:9-10

9 ^ahThose of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate ^aiare a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
^ajthey are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
^akset no vain hopes on robbery;
^alif riches increase, set not your heart on them.

1 Timothy 6:17

17 As for the rich in ^amthis present age, charge them ^annot to be haughty, nor ^aoto set their hopes on ^apthe uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^aqwho richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
