3.16.50

devānārādhya satataṃ vāñchanti ca dhanaṃ narāḥ |
na devāstatkare kṛtvā samarthā dātumañjasā ||

Lo! Human beings always worship the Gods for wealth; but the Devas do not give them wealth instantly; they give them these things through others by making them carry on trade, make gifts, or shew their strength or by making them steal.

Swami Vijnanananda 1921, The Sri Mad Devi Bhagavatam
