Thematic Bible: The accumulation of, disappointing
Thematic Bible
Accumulation of wealth » The accumulation of, disappointing
"Though he hoards silver like dust, and stores away garments like clay, whatever he stores up, the righteous will wear, and the innocent will inherit that silver!
In fact, people walk around as shadows. Surely, they busy themselves for nothing, heaping up possessions but not knowing who will get them.
After all, to the person who is good in God's sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner he gives the troublesome task of acquiring and accumulating in order to leave it to someone who is good in the sight of God. This also is pointless and chasing after the wind.
Your wisdom and understanding brought you phenomenal wealth. You've brought gold and silver into your treasuries.
"Stop storing up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
That's how it is with the person who stores up treasures for himself rather than with God."
your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be used as evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasures in these last days.
