***********
Proverbs 3 v.16
Length of days in wisdom's right hand
Such do well understand
And in her left hand be riches
And honour, such blesses
1 Samuel 2 v-7-8
The Lord makes poor, and He makes rich
Brings low, lifts up, e'en which
He chooses to do, raises poor
Sets them midst princes sure
Ecclesiastes 5 v.19
Each one to whom God riche gives
And wealth, so each one lives
God gives them power to prosper
It a gift from Him sure
Hosea 2 v.8
For Israel they did not know
The Lord appointed so
For them corn, wine, oil multiplied
Silver, gold with them plied

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. This is the last in a short series on wealth. There is the Old Testament view again, of blessings of material wealth. In New Testament times it is related more to spiritual wealth.

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". It's always been a favorite of mine. Beautiful !

Grateful to God for the wealth of verse produced by you, kind and gentle man.
Thanks Gary. I'm nasty and harsh to my 'wife' KP. My eccentric imaginings. Do you know KP - Kate Price in the UK, fond of the botox, etc, etc? I supposedly married her one Halloween (when else?) and my life has got worse every day since! lol. It's my daftness on here.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
