GEN 13:2  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
 
GEN 24:35  And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great:
and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants,
and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
 
DEU 6:10  And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into
the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to
give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
 
DEU 6:11  And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells
digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst
not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
 
DEU 6:12  Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
 
DEU 8:10  When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy
God for the good land which he hath given thee.
 
DEU 8:11  Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his
commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this
day:
 
DEU 8:12  Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses,
and dwelt therein;
 
DEU 8:13  And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy
gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
 
DEU 8:14  Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which
brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
 
DEU 8:15  Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were
fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who
brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
 
DEU 8:16  Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not,
that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy
latter end;
 
DEU 8:17  And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath
gotten me this wealth.
 
DEU 8:18  But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth
thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto
thy fathers, as it is this day.
 
DEU 31:20  For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto
their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and
filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve
them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
 
DEU 32:15  But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art
grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him,
and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
 
1SA 2:7  The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
 
 
1KI 10:23  So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and
for wisdom.
 
2KI 20:12  At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon,
sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had
been sick.
 
2KI 20:13  And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of
his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious
ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his
treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that
Hezekiah shewed them not.
 
2KI 20:14  Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him,
What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said,
They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
 
2KI 20:15  And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah
answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing
among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
 
2KI 20:16  And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
 
2KI 20:17  Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that
which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into
Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
 
2KI 20:18  And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget,
shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of
Babylon.
 
NEH 5:1  And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against
their brethren the Jews.
 
NEH 5:2  For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many:
therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
 
NEH 5:3  Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards,
and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
 
NEH 5:4  There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's
tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
 
NEH 5:5  Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as
their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be
servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is
it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
 
NEH 5:6  And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
 
NEH 5:7  Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers,
and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great
assembly against them.
 
NEH 5:8  And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren
the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren?
or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to
answer.
 
NEH 5:9  Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the
fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
 
NEH 5:10  I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them
money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
 
NEH 5:11  Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their
vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the
money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
 
NEH 5:12  Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of
them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath
of them, that they should do according to this promise.
 
NEH 5:13  Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his
house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he
shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the
LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
 
JOB 1:3  His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels,
and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great
household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
 
JOB 21:7  Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
 
JOB 21:8  Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their
offspring before their eyes.
 
JOB 21:9  Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
 
 
JOB 21:10  Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth
not her calf.
 
JOB 21:11  They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children
dance.
 
JOB 21:12  They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the
organ.
 
JOB 21:13  They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the
grave.
 
JOB 21:14  Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the
knowledge of thy ways.
 
JOB 21:15  What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit
should we have, if we pray unto him?
 
JOB 27:13  This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of
oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
 
JOB 27:14  If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring
shall not be satisfied with bread.
 
JOB 27:15  Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows
shall not weep.
 
JOB 27:16  Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the
clay;
 
JOB 27:17  He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent
shall divide the silver.
 
JOB 27:18  He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper
maketh.
 
JOB 27:19  The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth
his eyes, and he is not.
 
JOB 27:20  Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in
the night.
 
JOB 27:21  The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm
hurleth him out of his place.
 
JOB 27:22  For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of
his hand.
 
JOB 27:23  Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his
place.
 
JOB 31:24  If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art
my confidence;
 
JOB 31:25  If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had
gotten much;
 
JOB 31:28  This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should
have denied the God that is above.
 
PSA 37:16  A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many
wicked.
 
PSA 49:16  Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house
is increased;
 
PSA 49:17  For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not
descend after him.
 
PSA 49:18  Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee,
when thou doest well to thyself.
 
PSA 52:1  Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of
God endureth continually.
 
PSA 52:2  The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
 
PSA 52:3  Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak
righteousness. Selah.
 
PSA 52:4  Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
 
PSA 52:5  God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and
pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the
living. Selah.
 
PSA 52:6  The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
 
PSA 52:7  Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the
abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
 
PSA 73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the
wicked.
 
PSA 73:4  For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
 
PSA 73:5  They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like
other men.
 
PSA 73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth
them as a garment.
 
PSA 73:7  Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could
wish.
 
PSA 73:8  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak
loftily.
 
PSA 73:9  They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh
through the earth.
 
PSA 73:10  Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are
wrung out to them.
 
PSA 73:11  And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most
High?
 
PSA 73:12  Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
 
PSA 73:13  Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in
innocency.
 
PSA 73:14  For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
 
PSA 73:15  If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the
generation of thy children.
 
PSA 73:16  When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
 
PSA 73:17  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
 
 
PSA 73:18  Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them
down into destruction.
 
PSA 73:19  How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
 
PSA 73:20  As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou
shalt despise their image.
 
PSA 73:21  Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
 
PSA 73:22  So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
 
PRO 10:2  Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth
from death.
 
PRO 10:22  The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow
with it.
 
PRO 11:4  Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth
from death.
 
PRO 11:28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall
flourish as a branch.
 
PRO 13:7  There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that
maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
 
PRO 13:8  The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not
rebuke.
 
PRO 14:20  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many
friends.
 
PRO 14:24  The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools
is folly.
 
PRO 15:6  In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of
the wicked is trouble.
 
PRO 15:16  Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and
trouble therewith.
 
PRO 15:17  Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and
hatred therewith.
 
PRO 16:8  Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without
right.
 
PRO 18:11  The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his
own conceit.
 
PRO 18:23  The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly.
 
PRO 19:4  Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his
neighbour.
 
PRO 21:6  The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and
fro of them that seek death.
 
PRO 23:4  Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
 
PRO 23:5  Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly
make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
 
PRO 27:23  Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to
thy herds.
 
PRO 27:24  For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every
generation?
 
PRO 28:8  He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall
gather it for him that will pity the poor.
 
PRO 28:11  The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath
understanding searcheth him out.
 
PRO 28:20  A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste
to be rich shall not be innocent.
 
PRO 28:22  He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that
poverty shall come upon him.
 
PRO 30:8  Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor
riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
 
PRO 30:9  Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be
poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
 
ECC 5:9  Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served
by the field.
 
ECC 5:10  He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that
loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
 
ECC 5:11  When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good
is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
 
ECC 5:12  The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much:
but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
 
ECC 5:13  There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches
kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
 
ECC 5:14  But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and
there is nothing in his hand.
 
ECC 5:15  As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as
he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his
hand.
 
ECC 5:16  And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall
he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
 
ECC 5:17  All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and
wrath with his sickness.
 
ECC 5:18  Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat
and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the
sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
 
ECC 5:19  Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath
given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his
labour; this is the gift of God.
 
ECC 5:20  For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God
answereth him in the joy of his heart.
 
ECC 6:1  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common
among men:
 
ECC 6:2  A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he
wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not
power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an
evil disease.
 
ECC 7:11  Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them
that see the sun.
 
ECC 7:12  For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of
knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
 
ECC 10:19  A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money
answereth all things.
 
ISA 5:8  Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till
there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
 
JER 5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and
sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then
committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
 
JER 5:8  They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his
neighbour's wife.
 
JER 5:9  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my
soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
 
JER 5:27  As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit:
therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
 
JER 5:28  They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the
wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper;
and the right of the needy do they not judge.
 
JER 5:29  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul
be avenged on such a nation as this?
 
JER 9:23  Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither
let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
 
 
JER 17:11  As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that
getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and
at his end shall be a fool.
 
JER 22:13  Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his
chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth
him not for his work;
 
JER 22:14  That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and
cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with
vermilion.
 
JER 22:15  Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy
father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with
him?
 
JER 22:16  He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him:
was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
 
JER 22:17  But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and
for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
 
JER 22:18  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah
sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
 
JER 22:19  He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth
beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
 
JER 48:36  Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart
shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath
gotten are perished.
 
EZE 7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be
removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the
day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill
their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
 
EZE 28:5  By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy
riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
 
HOS 12:8  And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance:
in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
 
AMO 6:1  Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of
Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
 
 
AMO 6:2  Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the
great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these
kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
 
AMO 6:3  Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to
come near;
 
AMO 6:4  That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches,
and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the
stall;
 
AMO 6:5  That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves
instruments of musick, like David;
 
AMO 6:6  That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief
ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
 
MIC 6:12  For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants
thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
 
ZEP 1:18  Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in
the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of
his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in
the land.
 
MAT 6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
 
MAT 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 
MAT 6:21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
 
MAT 13:22  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the
word, and he becometh unfruitful.
 
MAT 19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
 
MAT 19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good
but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
 
 
MAT 19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou
shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness,
 
MAT 19:19  Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself.
 
MAT 19:20  The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my
youth up: what lack I yet?
 
MAT 19:21  Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and
follow me.
 
MAT 19:22  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for
he had great possessions.
 
MAT 19:23  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a
rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
 
MAT 19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 
MAT 19:25  When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
Who then can be saved?
 
MAT 19:26  But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
impossible; but with God all things are possible.
 
MAT 19:27  Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all,
and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
 
MAT 19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have
followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of
his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of
Israel.
 
MAT 19:29  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall
receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
 
MAT 27:57  When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named
Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
 
MAR 4:19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the
lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
 
MAR 10:17  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and
kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit
eternal life?
 
MAR 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good
but one, that is, God.
 
MAR 10:19  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and
mother.
 
MAR 10:20  And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed
from my youth.
 
MAR 10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou
lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
 
MAR 10:22  And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions.
 
MAR 10:23  And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
 
MAR 10:24  And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth
again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in
riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
 
MAR 10:25  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
 
MAR 10:26  And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who
then can be saved?
 
MAR 10:27  And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not
with God: for with God all things are possible.
 
LUK 6:24  But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
 
 
LUK 12:15  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
 
LUK 12:16  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth plentifully:
 
LUK 12:17  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I
have no room where to bestow my fruits?
 
LUK 12:18  And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build
greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
 
LUK 12:19  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
 
LUK 12:20  But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
 
LUK 12:21  So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward
God.
 
LUK 16:13  No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.
 
LUK 16:14  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things:
and they derided him.
 
LUK 16:20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his
gate, full of sores,
 
LUK 16:21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's
table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
 
LUK 16:22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the
angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
 
LUK 16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
 
LUK 16:24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for
I am tormented in this flame.
 
LUK 16:25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst
thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and
thou art tormented.
 
LUK 16:26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed:
so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to
us, that would come from thence.
 
LUK 19:2  And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief
among the publicans, and he was rich.
 
1TI 6:4  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
 
1TI 6:5  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
 
1TI 6:6  But godliness with contentment is great gain.
 
1TI 6:7  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out.
 
1TI 6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
 
1TI 6:9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
 
1TI 6:10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
 
1TI 6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
 
1TI 6:17  Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded,
nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all
things to enjoy;
 
1TI 6:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;
 
1TI 6:19  Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time
to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
 
JAM 1:9  Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
 
JAM 1:10  But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the
grass he shall pass away.
 
JAM 1:11  For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth
the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it
perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
 
JAM 2:6  But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw
you before the judgment seats?
 
JAM 2:7  Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
 
JAM 5:1  Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come
upon you.
 
JAM 5:2  Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
 
JAM 5:3  Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a
witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped
treasure together for the last days.
 
JAM 5:4  Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
 
JAM 5:5  Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have
nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
 
1JO 3:17  But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and
shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him?
