Zephaniah 1:18
New King James Version
18 (A)Neither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.
Ezekiel 7:19
New King James Version
19 ‘They will throw their silver into the streets,
And their gold will be like refuse;
Their (A)silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the Lord;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
Psalm 49:6-10
New King James Version
6 Those who (A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor (B)give to God a ransom for him—
8 For (C)the redemption of their souls is costly,
And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,
And (D)not [a]see the Pit.
10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.

15 And He said to them, (A)“Take heed and beware of [a]covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, (B)“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; (C)eat, drink, and be merry.” ’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night (D)your soul will be required of you; (E)then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, (F)and is not rich toward God.”
