What does the verse teach about those who trust in their wealth?

1.

Rashi: Their wealth will not help them [like verse 8 says].

2.

Radak: They trust in their wealth and pride themselves about it. I should not do so; one may boast only about being wise to know Hashem (Yirmeyah 9:22-23).

3.

Malbim: They do not trust in it to be a means towards perfection, e.g. to do Tzedakah and Chesed. Rather, they boast about their great wealth; this is their purpose for amassing great wealth.
