Matthew 6:28-30
And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to- day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

1 Kings 10 1-1 Kings 10 13
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions.And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not.And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justice and righteousness.And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug- trees and precious stones.And the king made of the almug- trees pillars for the house of Jehovah, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug- trees, nor were seen, unto this day.And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

Luke 12:24
Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store- chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!

2 Chronicles 9 1-2 Chronicles 9 12
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hid from Solomon which he told her not.And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard.Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for Jehovah thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness.And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, that brought gold from Ophir, brought algum- trees and precious stones.And the king made of the algum- trees terraces for the house of Jehovah, and for the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

James 1:10-11
and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
