Psalms 49:6-20

6those who atrust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7Truly no man bcan ransom another,
or cgive to God dthe price of his life,
8for ethe ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9that he should live on forever
and fnever see the pit.
10 For he sees gthat even the wise die;
hthe fool and the stupid alike must perish
and ileave their wealth to others.
11Their jgraves are their homes forever,
Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew  Their inward thought was that their homes were forever

their dwelling places lto all generations,
though they mcalled lands by their own names.
12Man in his pomp nwill not remain;
ohe is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have pfoolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts.
Or and of those after them who approve of their boasts
 Selah
14Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright rshall rule over them in the morning.
sTheir form shall be consumed tin Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15But God will uransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will vreceive me.  Selah
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 wFor when he dies he will xcarry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18For though, while he lives, he counts himself yblessed
—and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19his soul will zgo to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again aasee light.
20 abMan in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

Psalms 73:3-9

3 acFor I was adenvious of the arrogant
when I saw the aeprosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not afstricken like the rest of mankind.
6Therefore pride is agtheir necklace;
violence covers them as aha garment.
7Their aieyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8They scoff and ajspeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.

Psalms 73:18-20

18 Truly you set them in akslippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19How they are destroyed alin a moment,
swept away utterly by amterrors!
20Like ana dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when aoyou rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

Proverbs 11:4

4 apRiches do not profit in the day of wrath,
aqbut righteousness delivers from death.

Proverbs 11:28

28Whoever artrusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will asflourish like a green leaf.

Ecclesiastes 5:13-14

13 atThere is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, 14and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.

Jeremiah 9:23

23Thus says the Lord: au“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,
