By crookedness and iniquity, one may attain temporary affluence and prosperity.
May also experience good fortune and happiness for some time.
Because of wealth, one can even win enemies - even the enemies become his friends.
But in the end - their fall and descent are certainly ordained.  
Wealth earned by crookedness and iniquity -  deceit and fraud ultimately leads to one's own destruction.
Those who take wealth from poor people in the name of religion & charity and use it for their own luxury and pleasure are doomed to utter destruction.
History shows that they may enjoy living a happy and prosperous life for a while - 
but eventually - their whole heritage is shattered and eliminated.
