“Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.”
Riches at judgment: Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. Material accumulation provides no protection when judgment comes. Righteousness (tzedakah) alone delivers from death (matzelet mi'mavet). This indicates that ultimate security is not material but moral. No amount of wealth can save one from the consequences of unrighteousness. Only righteousness offers protection.
