Study Note
'Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness' — the righteous community's taunt-reflection on the wicked man's fall identifies the root of his destruction: he chose wealth and power rather than God as his foundational resource. The Hebrew 'ma'oz' (strength, fortress, refuge) is a key term in the Psalter for divine protective power (Psalms 27:1; 28:8; 46:1), and its rejection in favor of riches constitutes a fundamental theological inversion — self-sufficiency substituted for God-dependency. Luke 12:19–21 echoes this analysis in the Rich Fool parable: life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.
