One of the famous quote is "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" but then you also have scholars who claim that the eye of the needle was a gate in Jerusalem, others who claim that "camel" is a Greek misspelling and that kamêlos (camel) was written in place of kamilos, meaning "rope" or "cable".
Then of course you have quotes like "The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts.”... It's not like any religion is completely self-consistent.
