And the disciples were astonished at His Words. And answering again, Jesus said to them, Children, how hard it is for The ones trusting on riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
from men, by Your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and their belly You fill with Your hidden things; they are satisfied with sons, and will leave their riches to their babes.
So says Jehovah, Do not let the wise man glory in his wisdom, and do not let the mighty one glory in his might. Do not let the rich man glory in his riches.
Also their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah. But all the earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy. For He shall make a complete, yea, a speedy end of all those living on the land.
And all were astonished, so as to be questioning to themselves, saying, What is this? What new teaching is this, that He commands even the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him?
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek Me; and, as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you are not able to come; I also say to you now.
Charge the rich in the age now, not to be high-minded, nor to set hope on the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, the One offering to us richly all things for enjoyment;
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
Because you say, I am a rich one, and I am made wealthy, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are the wretched one and miserable one and poor one and the blind one and the naked one.
