You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you. James 5:5-6 NIV
Those who are rich need to be extremely careful. It is so easy to become enslaved to wealth. Too many rely and depend upon their wealth, treating it as if it were a god. Wealth is something that remains on the earth. It does not follow one from this world. Those enslaved to wealth have been blinded by it. They don’t see all the good that can be done with wealth when it is shared with those in need. What use is an abundance of wealth which sits idle? It just builds up dust. It serves no purpose sitting idle, enslaving the one to whom it belongs.
The one who is enslaved to wealth is fattening themselves. They are fattening themselves for the slaughter. They are the one that will be slaughtered, unless they change their ways. One cannot sit with an abundance of wealth, watching those in need perish due to lack of met needs.
It is better to not be rich than to be enslaved by the desire for wealth. Keep your focus on the Lord and not on earthly riches.

Good argument, after quoting James (again) for reminding us to focus on God and not earthly riches.
