7 Bible Verses about Transient Wealth

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.
For wealth certainly makes itself wings
Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

For riches are not forever,
Nor does a crown endure to all generations.

“He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure;
And his grain will not bend down to the ground.

“Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him,
Even mockery and insinuations against him
And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself rich with loans?’

knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

“Lord, make me to know my end
And what is the extent of my days;
Let me know how transient I am.
