Matthew 9:13
Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and on them he has set the world.
Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
Luke 6:24
“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.
Acts 3:7
But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
The rich have always robbed the poor of his right....... mercy is for poor sinners who are rich in spirit not rich men who are wretched and poor inside who justify their robbery of the poor in this life and his right to good things.
God is our portion and the kingdom of heaven is our inheritance. The rich will receive derision and confusion, the lake of fire will be their eternal inheritance.... torment in hell will be their portion.
