• Amos 6:4-7
  Who lie on beds of ivory,
  Stretch out on your couches,
  Eat lambs from the flock
  And calves from the midst of the stall;
  Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
  And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;
  Who drink wine from bowls,
  And anoint yourselves with the best ointments,
  But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
  Therefore they shall now go captive as the first of the captives,
  And those who recline at banquets shall be removed.
  
   
• Deuteronomy 28:11-13
  And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

  How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
  When will you rise from your sleep?

  Or lest I be poor and steal,
  And profane the name of my God.
