Holy Scripture
Psalms 34:6
A church father on this verse
“Poverty is not always praiseworthy, but only that which is practiced intentionally according to the evangelical aim. Many are poor in their resources but very grasping in their intention; poverty does not save these; on the contrary, their intention condemns them. Accordingly, not he who is poor is by all means blesse…”

4Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: Let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5Let them be as dust before the wind, And an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
— Psalms 34:6 —
7For without cause they have hidden for me their destructive snare: Without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8Let a snare which they know not come upon them; And the gin which they hid take them: And let them fall into the very same snare.
