15:6 MSG
Parallel Verses
Cross Reference
  • James 5:1 - And a final word to you arrogant rich: Take some lessons in lament. You’ll need buckets for the tears when the crash comes upon you. Your money is corrupt and your fine clothes stink. Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying your life from within. You thought you were piling up wealth. What you’ve piled up is judgment.
  • Psalms 37:16 - Less is more and more is less. One righteous will outclass fifty wicked, For the wicked are moral weaklings but the righteous are God-strong.
  • Proverbs 13:22 - A good life gets passed on to the grandchildren; ill-gotten wealth ends up with good people.
  • Job 20:20 - “Such God-denying people are never content with what they have or who they are; their greed drives them relentlessly. They plunder everything but they can’t hold on to any of it. Just when they think they have it all, disaster strikes; they’re served up a plate full of misery. When they’ve filled their bellies with that, God gives them a taste of his anger, and they get to chew on that for a while. As they run for their lives from one disaster, they run smack into another. They’re knocked around from pillar to post, beaten to within an inch of their lives. They’re trapped in a house of horrors, and see their loot disappear down a black hole. Their lives are a total loss— not a penny to their name, not so much as a bean. God will strip them of their sin-soaked clothes and hang their dirty laundry out for all to see. Life is a complete wipeout for them, nothing surviving God’s wrath. There! That’s God’s blueprint for the wicked— what they have to look forward to.”
  • Proverbs 15:16 - A simple life in the Fear-of-God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
  • Ecclesiastes 4:6 - One handful of peaceful repose Is better than two fistfuls of worried work— More spitting into the wind.
  • Ecclesiastes 5:10 - The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, Nor the one who loves wealth with big profits. More smoke.
  • Ecclesiastes 5:11 - The more loot you get, the more looters show up. And what fun is that—to be robbed in broad daylight?
  • Ecclesiastes 5:12 - Hard and honest work earns a good night’s sleep, Whether supper is beans or steak. But a rich man’s belly gives him insomnia.
  • Ecclesiastes 5:13 - Here’s a piece of bad luck I’ve seen happen: A man hoards far more wealth than is good for him And then loses it all in a bad business deal. He fathered a child but hasn’t a cent left to give him. He arrived naked from the womb of his mother; He’ll leave in the same condition—with nothing. This is bad luck, for sure—naked he came, naked he went. So what was the point of working for a salary of smoke? All for a miserable life spent in the dark?
  • Proverbs 16:8 - Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich.
  • Proverbs 10:22 - God’s blessing makes life rich; nothing we do can improve on God.
  • Proverbs 21:20 - Valuables are safe in a wise person’s home; fools put it all out for yard sales.
