קבלה אויף שמואל א 2:7

Now, son of man, open your eyes from your blindness and realize that all the pleasures and goodness of this world are vanity and error.²⁹¹Jeremiah 10:15 Why be prideful over others? If you are proud of your tall and upright stature, others too were created in the image of God, just like you. If you are proud of your family lineage, are we not all the children of one man and are not all Jews children of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov? If you are proud of your wealth, are there not many empty-headed and reckless people who are wealthier than you? Moreover, it is HaShem-יהו"ה who impoverishes and enriches.²⁹²Samuel I 2:7 Therefore, if you are wealthy, do not glorify in your wealth,²⁹³Jeremiah 9:22 for it could be wealth kept for its possessor to his detriment.

Why do you lust for material wealth, in amassing gold and building great houses and storerooms, for in the end, you will be carried to the grave emptyhanded and all your wealth will be left in the hands of others? Why then do you labor so greatly to amass wealth, when in reality, it all depends on HaShem’s-יהו"ה Divine providence, even a Torah scroll in the sanctuary?³⁰⁵Zohar III 134a Why are you concerned with a world that is not yours, for in the blink of an eye, you will be transported to a different world? Then all your efforts will be as nothing, because all your energy was spent in acquiring worthless vanity and nothingness. Why do you reject the Torah of eternal life for the sake of amassing the possessions of transient life? For everything that God has decreed upon you, whether for poverty or for wealth, cannot be added to nor subtracted from, for it is HaShem-יהו"ה who impoverishes and enriches.³⁰⁶Samuel I 2:7 You thus lose your eternal life, without having accomplished even half of what you lusted for, but tomorrow you will lay in the dust. Maggots will be beneath you and worms will cover you. Why then do you seek power and high position when the hope of man is maggots?

Also, never accept gifts, for whosoever despises receiving gifts will live,²⁷⁵Proverbs 15:27 for it is HaShem-יהו"ה who impoverishes or gives wealth.²⁷⁶Samuel I 2:7 It is He who gives you the strength to accomplish.²⁷⁷Deuteronomy 8:18 Therefore, cast your needs upon HaShem-יהו"ה with all your heart and He will sustain you.²⁷⁸Psalms 55:23 May the fear of HaShem-יהו"ה, blessed is He, be upon your face, so as not to commit any of the 365 Torah prohibitions.²⁷⁹Sefer Yere’im 352 Take particular care not to fall into bad character traits, which are like sourdough²⁸⁰Talmud Bavli, Brachot 17a that causes physicality to rise, especially those bad character traits that are readily found and therefore trampled upon.²⁸¹Talmud Bavli, Avodah Zarah 18a; Rashi to Deuteronomy 7:12
