Do not trust in oppressionThis should be the verse of dictators and criminals. Oppression can not keep people in line forever. It may work for a time, perhaps even a long time. However, the day will come when someone will challenge you. No one stays on top forever.
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.
Similarly, robbery can not make one rich enough. You will always want more, if you are focused on possessions. There will always be something else to get, something else to help you keep score. If your heart is on money or things, you will crumble when they do.
