The+Bible+-+poverty+&+wealth

The Bible says a lot about poverty and wealth. "Having lots of money protects the rich but having no money destroys the poor"."The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their calamity." (Proverbs 1o verse 15)

In the Bible it states that if you have money you should give some to the poor/needy, if you do God will pay you back (with a blessing). You can see this in Proverbs 19 verse 17: " When you give to the poor, it is like lending to the Lord and the Lord will pay you back". "If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD - and he will repay you!"
