5 But anyone who needs wisdom should ask God, whose very nature is to give to everyone without a second thought, without keeping score. Wisdom will certainly be given to those who ask.
6 Whoever asks shouldn’t hesitate. They should ask in faith, without doubting. Whoever doubts is like the surf of the sea, tossed and turned by the wind.
7 People like that should never imagine that they will receive anything from the Lord.
8 They are double-minded, unstable in all their ways.
9 Brothers and sisters who are poor should find satisfaction in their high status.
10 Those who are wealthy should find satisfaction in their low status, because they will die off like wildflowers.
11 The sun rises with its scorching heat and dries up the grass so that its flowers fall and its beauty is lost. Just like that, in the midst of their daily lives, the wealthy will waste away.
