Riches are not profit

Proverbs 11:4 KJV — Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

There’s a difference between riches and profit.

Riches are assets, resources, currency, things that are valued and that have value e.g gold, silver, a million dollars, rare paintings, coins, jewellery, signed first editions etc

But profit is about how much you benefit or gain from the riches you have.

A million dollar painting that you can never sell or leverage for money is less financially profitable than a ten thousand dollar bracelet that you can sell.

Gaining the whole world but losing your soul doesn’t profit you.

Riches are not profit.

This distinction is extremely important.
