Zophar contended that God removes the wealth of the wicked, implying that Job must have sinned (Job 20:5, 10, 15)

Job countered: ‘Then why do the wicked prosper?’ (Job 21:7-9)

Jesus’ example proves that the righteous may not have material wealth (Lu 9:58)

FOR MEDITATION: Whether he is rich or poor, what is a righteous person’s priority?​—Lu 12:21; w07-E 8/1 29 ¶12.
