WISDOM: Enoch Woe to you rich for trusting in riches

The Book of Enoch

Woe to those who build unrighteousness and oppression
And lay deceit as a foundation
For they shall be suddenly overthrown,
And they shall have no peace.
Woe to those who build their houses with sin,
For from all their foundations shall they be overthrown,
And by the sword shall they fall.

Woe to you, ye rich, for ye have trusted in your riches,
And from your riches shall ye depart,
Because ye have not remembered the Most High in the days of your riches.

Thus I speak and declare unto you:
He who hath created you will overthrow you,
And for your fall there shall be no compassion,
And your Creator will rejoice at your destruction.
