Job 27:16-17
Though he piles up silver like dust and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide up his silver.

Luke 16:19-22
“ There was a rich man who would dress in purple and fine linen, feasting lavishly every day.But a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, was left at his gate.He longed to be filled with what fell from the rich man’s table, but instead the dogs would come and lick his sores.One day the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.

Psalms 49:16-17
Do not be afraid when a man gets rich, when the wealth of his house increases.For when he dies, he will take nothing at all; his wealth will not follow him down.

Luke 12:19-21
Then I’ll say to myself,“ You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared— whose will they be?’“ That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Luke 16:2

Job 22:15-20
Will you continue on the ancient path that wicked men have walked?They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were washed away by a river.They were the ones who said to God,“ Leave us alone!” and“ What can the Almighty do to us?”But it was He who filled their houses with good things. The counsel of the wicked is far from me!The righteous see this and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,“ Surely our opponents are destroyed, and fire has consumed what they left behind.”

James 1:11
For the sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up the grass; its flower falls off, and its beautiful appearance is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will wither away while pursuing his activities.

James 5:1-3
Come now, you rich people! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you.Your wealth is ruined and your clothes are moth-eaten.Your silver and gold are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You stored up treasure in the last days!

Job 20:22-28
At the height of his success distress will come to him; the full weight of misery will crush him.When he fills his stomach, God will send His burning anger against him, raining it down on him while he is eating.If he flees from an iron weapon, an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.He pulls it out of his back, the flashing tip out of his liver. Terrors come over him.Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned by human hands will consume him; it will feed on what is left in his tent.The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.The possessions in his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s anger.
