Gain at the expense of others is wrong (1:19), especially the poor (14:21,31), who depend on cheap commodities; and they that do shall lose their riches to merciful men (28:8). Oppressors may hoard silver as dust, but the just will end up owning it (Job 27:16-17).
You will never lose being generous, merciful, and kind (11:24-25; Eccl 11:1-6), for those who give to the poor are lending to the Lord, and He always repays well (19:17).
What about our Lord Jesus? He had a legitimate corner on riches and glory, but He gave it up for His elect, so they might receive the gift of eternal life (Phil 2:5-8; II Cor 8:9). DailyProverb
