Summary

This quote suggests that God expresses His disapproval of wealth by choosing individuals who may not fit the societal expectations or idealized image of the rich. It implies that those who acquire great wealth may not necessarily be the ones deserving or favored by God. Instead, God's selection of people to receive wealth might be based on qualities such as humility, kindness, and righteousness, rather than material wealth or worldly success. Thus, the quote implies a sense of irony and suggests that wealth alone does not necessarily equate to divine approval or favor.
