Rashi, on Prov 10:2

“Treasures of wickedness shall profit nothing: but justice shall deliver from death.”

“Treasures of wickedness will not avail For he was boasting with his riches, as it is stated (Hosea 12:9): “And Ephraim said: Surely I have become rich, etc.” but charity will save from death And if you ask, “A righteous man who squanders his property for charity—from where will he sustain himself?””
