Proverbs 1:19

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

saying, Give me this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hand he may receive the Holy Spirit.

not a wine-drinker, not a quarrelsome man, but gentle, not contentious, not avaricious,

But those who wish to be rich fall into trial and a snare, and many foolish and injurious desires, which plunge men into destruction and perdition.

Come now, rich men, weep and lament for the miseries which are coming upon you.

and with covetousness they will make a gain of you with feigned words, whose judgment a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.
