James 1:9-11 - Poverty And Riches

9 A brother of low position ought to be proud of his eminence, 10 but one who is rich ought to rejoice at being reduced in circumstances, for the rich will disappear like the wild flowers. 11 For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flowers wither, and all their beauty is gone. That is the way rich men will fade and die in the midst of their pursuits.
