What men lose materially in correcting themselves (say, giving up the incomes they earned by repenting from serving Pharaohs as his police officers), they gain spiritually in getting closer to God. Though men may take material losses by turning away from the Egyptian path, which for a time has the resources to honor wickedness and evildoing, they will gain the wisdom of the Lord and know how to seek the only Kingdom with real peace, freedom, and lasting prosperity.
