Neither Riches Nor Poverty Lead to Life
Yes, many live with wealth in their riches on this earth. They have strong cities, even lands with many houses circled around them. They possess the wealth of cities.
Meanwhile many live in poverty and their lives hurdle towards ruin.
Yes, life comes not from whether one possesses the wealth of cities or lives in the ruin of poverty. The determining factor stands only on the distinction between righteousness and wickedness. Righteousness bears the wages of life while wickedness only gains sin. We know that sin leads to death.
Building wealth or working towards physical, earthly benefit is not inherently wicked. However, if it is pursued and accomplished through evil deeds, its reward will not be what one hopes.
