I Samuel 12:20,21 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not; ye  
have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following  
the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;
 
And turn ye not aside; for then should ye go after vain things,  
which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because  
reacheth unto thine heart.

mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to  
whom the house of Israel came!
 
Amos 6:4,5,6 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves  
upon their couches and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the  
calves out of the midst of the stall;
 
That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves  
instruments of musick, like David;
 
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with  
the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction   
of Joseph.
 
Amos 6:7,8 Therefore now shall they go cpative with the first  
that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched

hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces;   
therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are  
settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The Lord will not

desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them;  
and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

Matthew 19:23,24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say  
unto you, That A rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of  
heaven.
 
And again I say unto you, is easier for a camel to go through  
the eye of A needle, than for A rich man to enter into the  
kingdom of God.
 
Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or  
brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, 
or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and   
shall inhert everlasting life.
 
Romans 8:6,7 For to be carnally minded is death: but to be  
spiritually minded is life and peace.

subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
 
I Timothy 6:5,6,7 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds,

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can  
carry nothing out.
 
I Timothy 6:8,9,10 And having food and rainment let us be  
therewith content. 
 
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and  
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in  
destruction and perdition.
 
For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some  
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced  
themselves through with many sorrows.
 
I Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things;; and  
follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience,  
meekness.
 
Hebrews 12:1,2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with  
so great A cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,  
and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with  
patience the race that is set before us,
 
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for  
the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the   
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
 
I Timothy 6:17,18,19 Charge them that are rich in this world,  
that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in  
the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
 
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to  
distribute, willing to communicate;
 
Laying up in store for themselves A good foundation against the  
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
 
II Timothy 3:1,2,3 This know also, that in the last days perilous  
times shall come.
 
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,  
proud, blasphemers disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
 
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,  
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
 
II Timothy 3:4,5,6 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of  
pleasures more than lovers of God;
 
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof, from  
such turn away.
 
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead  
captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
 
II Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the  
knowledge of the truth.

James 5:1,2,3 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howlm for your   
miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, 
and your garments are moth eaten.
 
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be A  
witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as if it were fire.   
Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
 
James 5:4,5 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down  
your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the  
cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the  
Lord of sabaoth.
 
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have  
nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

II Peter 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissoved,  
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation  
and godliness.
 
I John 2:15,16,17 Love not the world, neither the things that  
are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the  
Father is not in him.
 
For all that is in the wrold, the lust of the flesh, and the lust  
of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is  
of the world.
 
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but 
he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.
 
Revelation 18:12,13,14 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and  
precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and  
silk, and scarlet, and all thine wood, and all manner vessels of   
ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of  
brass, and iron, and marble,
 
And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and  
wine and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep,   
and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
 
Revelation 18:15,16,17 The merchants of these things, which were  
made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her  
torment, weeping and wailing,
 
And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine  
linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and  
precious stones, and pearls!
 
For in one hour so great riches is come to nought.  And every  
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as  
many as trade by sea, stood afar off.
