James 1:8-11
8being a 12double-minded man, 3unstable in all his ways.
94But the 5brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because 6like 7flowering grass he will pass away. 11For the sun rises with 89a scorching wind and 10withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
