James 1:8-11

8since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

9Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.

10But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.

11For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
