The Pharisees also had beautiful earthly things. Jewels, Gold, the best homes, authority. But we know what Christ said about "earthly things". 
    Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal" (Matthew 19-20).
    "Do not love the world or the things in the world" (Matthew 19:21). He also said, "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth" (Colossians 3:2).
    "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence" (Matthew 23:25-26)
