Gloriest

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;

Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the fertile valley
Of those who are overcome with wine!

“Yet you said, ‘I will be a queen forever.’
These things you did not consider
Nor remember the outcome of them.

Thy flowing valley

‘Return, O faithless sons,’ declares the Lord;
‘For I am a master to you,
And I will take you one from a city and two from a family,
And I will bring you to Zion.’

Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and

went backward and not forward.

Since Israel is stubborn
Like a stubborn heifer,

Can the Lord now pasture them

Like a lamb in a large field?

Trusted

“For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures,
Even you yourself will be captured;
And Chemosh will go off into exile
Together with his priests and his princes.

Even those who trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?

“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches
And was strong in his evil desire.”

Do not trust in oppression

And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

The rich man’s wealth is his fortress,
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.

“By your wisdom and understanding
You have acquired riches for yourself
And have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.
