Luke 12:16-21
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits?And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods.And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Luke 16:19-25
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.

James 5:1-7
Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth- eaten.Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

Job 21:24-30
His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.And another dieth in bitterness of soul, And never tasteth of good.They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?
-
Psalms 73:18-20
Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
-
Psalms 49:6-14
They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him( For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever),That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, And their dwelling- places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings.[ SelahThey are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd: And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
