Affluence
Proverbs 24:25 New Living Translation (NLT)
25 But it will go well for those who convict the guilty;
rich blessings will be showered on them.
Romans 11:9 New Living Translation (NLT)
9 Likewise, David said,
“Let their bountiful table become a snare,
a trap that makes them think all is well.
Let their blessings cause them to stumble,
and let them get what they deserve.
Land of plenty ... land of waste
All in faith arise now
There is so much ... for few to touch
So just sit back and wait now
Well deserved ... and not unnerved
All will get by somehow now
Yes our greed ... and endless need
We carry on our face now
What is right ... a daily plight
There is no tomorrow
Just my cares ... am I to bear
In this land of sorrow
It is me ... and my own I see
That is why I borrow
All you own ... including home
To waste on self in horror
Jan Wienen
