So is he. This is the portion or the doom.

Layeth up treasure for himself. Acquires riches for his own use -- for himself. This is the characteristic of the covetous man. It is all for himself. His plans terminate there. He lives only for himself, and acts only with regard to his own interest.

Rich toward God. Has no inheritance in the kingdom of God -- no riches laid up in heaven. His affections are all fixed on this world, and he has none for God.

• {v} "layeth up treasure" Hab 2:9 * {w} "is not rich toward God"
