Place no trust in oppression, or false hope in robbery. If wealth increases, pay no attention to it.

“ Here is the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”

“ Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre: This is what the Lord God says: Your heart is proud, and you have said,‘ I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.’ Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

When they had pasture, they became satisfied; they were satisfied, and their hearts became proud. Therefore they forgot Me.

Anyone trusting in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like foliage.

Come now, you who say,“ Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”You don’t even know what tomorrow will bring— what your life will be! For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.

A merchant loves to extort with dishonest scales in his hands.But Ephraim says:“ How rich I have become; I made it all myself. In all my earnings, no one can find any crime in me that I can be punished for!”

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of heaven, because all His works are true and His ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

houses full of every good thing that you did not fill them with, wells dug that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant— and when you eat and are satisfied,be careful not to forget the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

and your herds and flocks grow large, and your silver and gold multiply, and everything else you have increases,be careful that your heart doesn’t become proud and you forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy.

Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight.

If I placed my confidence in gold or called fine gold my trust,if I have rejoiced because my wealth is great or because my own hand has acquired so much,

You have said,‘ Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and you have become overconfident that you will get glory. Now stay at home. Why stir up such trouble so that you fall and Judah with you?”

Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support the poor and needy.

on many waters. Tyre’s revenue was the grain from Shihor— the harvest of the Nile. She was the merchant among the nations.

the king exclaimed,“ Is this not Babylon the Great that I have built by my vast power to be a royal residence and to display my majestic glory?”

Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust and gold like the dirt of the streets.

Then He told them a parable:“ A rich man’s land was very productive.He thought to himself,‘ What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops?I will do this,’ he said.‘ I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones and store all my grain and my goods there.Then I’ll say to myself,“ You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared— whose will they be?’“ That’s how it is with the one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”

Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth?

Otherwise, I might have too much and deny You, saying,“ Who is the Lord?” or I might have nothing and steal, profaning the name of my God.

“ Tarshish was your trading partner because of your great wealth of every kind. They exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise.Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants. They exchanged slaves and bronze utensils for your goods.Those from Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise.Men of Dedan were also your merchants; many coasts and islands were your regular markets. They brought back ivory tusks and ebony as your payment.Aram was your trading partner because of your numerous products. They exchanged turquoise, purple and embroidered cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your merchandise.Judah and the land of Israel were your merchants. They exchanged wheat from Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm, for your goods.Damascus was also your trading partner because of your numerous products and your great wealth of every kind, trading in wine from Helbon and white wool.Vedan and Javan from Uzal dealt in your merchandise; wrought iron, cassia, and aromatic cane were exchanged for your goods.Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats.The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you. They exchanged gold, the best of all spices, and all kinds of precious stones for your merchandise.Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.Ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your goods. So you became full and heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.Your rowers have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind has shattered you in the heart of the sea.Your wealth, merchandise, and goods, your sailors and captains, those who repair your leaks, those who barter for your goods, and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.The countryside shakes at the sound of your sailors’ cries.All those who handle an oar disembark from their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea stand on the shore.They raise their voices over you and cry out bitterly. They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes.They shave their heads because of you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They weep over you with deep anguish and bitter mourning.In their wailing they lament for you, mourning over you: Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods.Now you are shattered by the sea in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people within you have gone down.All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands are appalled at you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.Those who trade among the peoples mock you; you have become an object of horror and will never exist again.”

For he says,“ Aren’t all my commanders kings?Isn’t Calno like Carchemish? Isn’t Hamath like Arpad? Isn’t Samaria like Damascus?As my hand seized the idolatrous kingdoms, whose idols exceeded those of Jerusalem and Samaria,and as I did to Samaria and its idols will I not also do to Jerusalem and its idols?”But when the Lord finishes all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say,“ I will punish the king of Assyria for his arrogant acts and the proud look in his eyes.”For he said: I have done this by my own strength and wisdom, for I am clever. I abolished the borders of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty warrior, I subjugated the inhabitants.My hand has reached out, as if into a nest, to seize the wealth of the nations. Like one gathering abandoned eggs, I gathered the whole earth. No wing fluttered; no beak opened or chirped.

Many were bringing an offering to the Lord to Jerusalem and valuable gifts to King Hezekiah of Judah, and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after that.In those days Hezekiah became sick to the point of death, so he prayed to the Lord, and He spoke to him and gave him a miraculous sign.However, because his heart was proud, Hezekiah didn’t respond according to the benefit that had come to him. So there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.
