Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God. Proverbs 30:7-9

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. Psalms 73:2-3, 16-17

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 1 Corinthians 15:19
