James 5:1-3
Come now, you rich people, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth eaten.Your gold and your silver have corroded, and their corrosion will serve as a testimony against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

Job 20:18-22
He returns the product of his labor And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.For he has oppressed and neglected the poor; He has seized a house which he has not built.“ Because he knew no quiet within him, He does not retain anything he desires.Nothing remains for him to devour, Therefore his prosperity does not endure.In the fullness of his excess he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

Job 27:14-19
Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And their widows will not be able to weep.Though he piles up silver like dust, And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,He may prepare it, but the righteous will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver.He has built his house like the spider’s web, Or a hut which the watchman has made.He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it no longer exists.
