People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possessed. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Don't put your trust in mere humans. They are as frail as breath. What good are they? Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety. Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe. Blessed is the person who trusts in the LORD, making the LORD his trust.
人们判断通过外貌，耶和华是看心脏。财富吸引了很多朋友，但是可怜之人，即使是最亲密的朋友抛弃它们。
耶稣对他们说，你们要谨慎，并谨防贪婪的：一个人的生命不在于哪，他所拥有的东西丰富。这世界，和其上的情欲都要过去，惟独凡遵行神旨意的是永远常存。因他所尊崇的人之中是神看为可憎恶。他谁爱钱不会满足于金钱，也不是他谁爱财富与他的收入，这也是虚空。有什么好处的人若赚得全世界，赔上自己的灵魂？为什么，你甚至不知道明天会发生什么。什么是你的生活？你是出现了一小会儿，然后消失雾。
不要为明日自夸，因为你不知道什么是一天可能会带来。不要把你的信任单纯的人类。它们是身体虚弱的气息。有什么好处呢？由于担心人来说是一个危险的陷阱，但信靠耶和华意味着安全。这些谁相信自己是傻瓜，但那些走在智慧谁是保持安全。有福是谁托耶和华，使耶和华他的信任的人。
