Contradiction with Matthew 6:19

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:17
Ecclesiastes 7:11 presents the benefit of wealth linked with wisdom, but 1 Timothy 6:17 warns the rich not to trust in uncertain riches, promoting trust in God instead.
1 Timothy 6:17: Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; [uncertain...: Gr. uncertainty of riches]
Contradiction with James 2:5
This verse contradicts the implication that wealth is advantageous by highlighting that God has chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom.
James 2:5: Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? [of the: or, of that]
Contradiction with Proverbs 11:4
Where Ecclesiastes 7:11 notes the advantage of wealth, Proverbs 11:4 states that riches do not profit in the day of wrath, suggesting they have limitations.
Proverbs 11:4: Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Contradiction with Luke 12:15
Contradictory to Ecclesiastes 7:11, this verse warns that life does not consist of the abundance of possessions, implying wisdom linked with inheritance is insufficient for true life.
Luke 12:15: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
