Material wealth obtained through unjust means is often fleeting and unreliable. Like a river that can dry up unexpectedly or a storm that can end with a sudden crash, wealth that is not earned righteously can vanish without warning. This serves as a reminder to prioritize integrity and fairness in our pursuits. True prosperity is not measured solely by material possessions but by the quality of our character and the righteousness of our actions. By living with honesty and justice, we cultivate a life that is not only prosperous in a material sense but also rich in spiritual and ethical values. This perspective encourages us to focus on what truly matters, ensuring that our legacy is one of integrity and lasting impact. In doing so, we align ourselves with principles that provide stability and fulfillment, rather than the temporary satisfaction that unjust wealth might offer.
The wealth of the unjust will dry up like a river, and crash like a loud clap of thunder in a storm.
