Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf. Proverbs 11:28
“He who does not think of the future because he is longing for present goods will finally be lacking in both. But they who do good deeds in the present for the hope of future rewards will justly receive that for which they hope.”
The Venerable Bede (672-735), a monk at the Northumbrian Monastery, in Commentary on Proverbs 2.11.28. (ACCS.IX.PESOS-87).
