Don't spend your whole life collecting stuff here on earth, where everything eventually breaks down, gets ruined, or gets stolen.

2 Chronicles 20:25

When Jehoshaphat and his people came to collect the belongings of their enemies, they found an enormous amount of wealth among the dead bodies—riches and precious jewels that they took for themselves. There was so much treasure that they couldn't carry it all away, and it took them three whole days just to gather everything up.

Look, they're scattered and gone because everything fell apart. Egypt will be the one to collect their bodies, and Memphis will be where they're buried. All those nice places where they stored their wealth? Weeds are going to take over completely. Thorns will grow right through their homes.
