Thus saith the LORD , Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom , neither let the mighty man glory in his might , let not the rich man glory in his riches : Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not ? for riches certainly make themselves wings ; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven . For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation ? For the love of money is the root of all evil : which while some coveted after , they have erred from the faith , and pierced themselves through with many sorrows . He that trusteth in his riches shall fall : but the righteous shall flourish as a branch . A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches , and loving favour rather than silver and gold . By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour , and life . Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth , and hath given him power to eat thereof , and to take his portion , and to rejoice in his labour ; this is the gift of God .
