28 Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.
28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage.
28 Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.

(Read Proverbs 11:28)
The true believer is a branch of the living Vine. When those that take root in the world wither, those who are grafted into Christ shall be fruitful.
