Psalms 52:7

God his refuge,
but ^gtrusted in the abundance of his riches

Psalms 62:8-10

8 ⁱTrust in him at all times, O people;
^jpour out your heart before him;
God is ^ka refuge for us. Selah
9 ^lThose of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate ^mare a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
ⁿthey are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
^oset no vain hopes on robbery;
^pif riches increase, set not your heart on them.

Isaiah 59:4-6

4 ^qNo one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
^rthey conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
5 They hatch adders’ eggs;
they weave the spider’s web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
and from one that is crushed a viper is hatched.
6 ^sTheir webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.

Jeremiah 9:23

23 Thus says the Lord: ^t“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches,

Jeremiah 13:25

25 ^uThis is your lot,
the portion I have measured out to you, declares the Lord,
because ^vyou have forgotten me
and trusted in lies.

Ezekiel 28:2-5

2 ^w“Son of man, say to ^xthe prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God:

^y“Because your heart is proud,
and ^zyou have said, ‘I am a god,
I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,’
yet ^aayou are but a man, and no god,
^abthough you make your heart like the heart of a god—
3 ^acyou are indeed wiser ^adthan ^aeDaniel;
no secret is hidden from you;
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
^afyou have made wealth for yourself,
and have gathered gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 by your great wisdom in your trade
you have increased your wealth,
and ^agyour heart has become proud in your wealth—
