Accumulation of wealth » The accumulation of, disappointing
If he heaps up silver like the dust and fashions clothing like the clay, he makes [it] ready, and [the] righteous will wear [it], and [the] innocent will divide [the] silver.
Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].
For to the person who [is] good in his eyes, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and heaping up only to give [it] to [him who is] pleasing to him. This also [is] vanity and chasing wind!
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gained for yourself wealth, and you have amassed gold and silver in your treasuries.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and consuming [insect] destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
So [is] the one who stores up treasure for himself, and who is not rich toward God!"
Your gold and silver have become corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you, and it will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days.
