Ezekiel 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt,
the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said,
My river [
is] mine own, and I have made [
it] for myself.
Deuteronomy 8:17-
18 And
thou say in thine heart,
My power and the might of [
mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth. ... 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.
Proverbs 18:11 The rich man's wealth [
is] his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
Proverbs 23:4-
5 Labour not to be rich:
cease from thine own wisdom. ... Wilt
thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for
[riches] certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 I
returned, and saw under the sun,
that the race [
is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill;
but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Habakkuk 1:16 Therefore
they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [
is] fat, and their meat
plenteous.
Zechariah 9:2-
4 And
Hamath also shall border thereby;
Tyrus, and
Zidon, though
it be very wise. ... Behold,
the Lord will cast her out, and
he will smite her power in the sea; and she
shall be devoured with fire.
