Proverbs 11:18: The wicked makes a deceitful salary; but he who sows righteousness receives a sure reward.
No matter how much compensation is obtained by an ungodly one, it can be said of it that it is illusory, because there is no reward or favor embedded in it, since they do not bring with it the approval of God, once he lives in the The practice of impiety and the only real and lasting salary for sin is death.
It is regrettable that the present world considers a sign of great prosperity and blessing on God's part, that someone has reached high positions and positions in which great rewards were received.
How illusory this is, the Word of the Lord alerts us. For the glory of the wicked will pass like the flower of the grass and can not subsist forever, nor bring the true contentment that is a consequence of a good conscience towards God and with all men.

It may seem an anachronistic subject for many, in a world where there has been so much progress in the creation of laws and agencies that seek to promote justice, but it is never too much to remember that corruption, and acts of violence and impiety are a constant in our news every day.
This is an evil from which humanity will never be healed, but by conversion to Jesus Christ and the practice of his commandments.
Everything else has been ineffective, be educational programs, investments in information and development of technological processes, although important for other purposes, because corruption is something that is inherently linked to the human heart, it is enough to find the conditions and advantages that be favorable, and soon it will manifest itself, especially in those who hold positions in which they have the possibility of ingesting in financial matters.
