5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look!

Bless us with eternal returns, and smite those unbelieves who warn against investing $700k in a single stock"

Given the whole camel and eye of a needle thing, it sure is kind of Yahweh to impoverish all these assholes before the Rapture War really pops off
Though, I would have preferred his son's approach:
