9The believer who is poor still has reasons to boast, for he has been placed on high. 10But those who are rich should boast in how God has brought them low and humbled them, for all their earthly glory will one day fade away like a wildflower in the meadow. 11For as the scorching heat of the sun causes the petals of the wildflower to fall off and lose its appearance of beauty,f so the rich in the midst of their pursuit of wealth will wither away.
