46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

This verse is a good reminder for me not to be focused on acquiring all the man made stuff that attracts us, it will be worthless in the end.
