• Proverbs 18:10-12
  The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
  The righteous run to it and are safe.
  The rich man's wealth is his strong city,
  And like a high wall in his own esteem.
  Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
  And before honor is humility.
  
   
• 1 John 2:15-16
  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.
   
• Deuteronomy 8:10-14
  When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you. “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
   
• Isaiah 10:12-15
  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks.” For he says:
  “ By the strength of my hand I have done it,
  And by my wisdom, for I am prudent;
  Also I have removed the boundaries of the people,
  And have robbed their treasuries;
  So I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.
  My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people,
  And as one gathers eggs that are left,
  I have gathered all the earth;
  And there was no one who moved his wing,
  Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”
  Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it?
  Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it?
  As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up,
  Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!
  
   
• Daniel 4:27-31
  Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity." All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. The king spoke, saying, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?" While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice fell from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you!
   
• Amos 5:25-27
  "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
  In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
  You also carried Sikkuth your king
  And Chiun, your idols,
  The star of your gods,
  Which you made for yourselves.
  Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,"
  Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
   
• 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
  For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
