Proverbs 27:20-24 – Death and Destruction are never satisfied, and neither
are human eyes. The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
but people are tested by their praise. Though you grind a fool in
a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will
not remove their folly from them. Be sure you know the condition
of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches
do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
Proverbs
23:5 – Cast but a
glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings
and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Application:
- · People must not become proud, and they must be wary of flattery.
- · Even kings may lose their wealth and power.
- · Our trust must be in God, not in riches.
