  • Ps 73:3-9 : 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. 5 They are free from common human burdens; they are not plagued by human ills. 6 Therefore, pride is their necklace; violence clothes them like a garment. 7 Their eyes bulge from fatness; their imaginations overflow with malice. 8 They scoff and speak with malice; with arrogance, they threaten oppression. 9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut through the earth. 10 Therefore His people turn to them and drink up waters in abundance. 11 They say, 'How does God know?

Are they better than these kingdoms? Is their territory greater than yours? 3 You push away the day of disaster and bring near a reign of violence. 4 You lie on beds inlaid with ivory and lounge on your couches. You dine on choice lambs from the flock and fattened calves from the stall. 5 You strum away on your harps like David and fashion instruments for music. 6 You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.

Take it easy, eat, drink, and be merry.”' 20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This very night your soul will be required of you, and the things you have prepared—who will they belong to?' 21 So it is with one who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.

Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' 25 But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.'

  • Jas 5:1-6 : 1 Come now, you rich people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and your clothes have become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will serve as a testimony against you and will consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look, the wages that you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5 You have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, who does not resist you.
  • Rev 18:6-8 : 6 Repay her as she herself has repaid others, and pay her back double according to her deeds; in the cup she has mixed, mix a double portion for her. 7 As much as she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, give her that much torment and grief, because in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and I will never see grief.' 8 Because of this, her plagues will come in a single day: death, mourning, and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for the mighty Lord God is the one who judges her.
  • Job 21:7-9 : 7 Why do the wicked live on, grow old, and increase in power? 8 Their children are established in their presence, and their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their homes are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them. 10 Their bulls breed without failure; their cows give birth and do not miscarry. 11 They release their young like a flock, and their children skip about. 12 They sing to the tambourine and lyre and rejoice to the sound of the flute. 13 They spend their days in prosperity, and in a moment they go down to Sheol. 14 Yet they say to God, 'Depart from us! We have no desire to know your ways.' 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we profit if we entreat him?
