'Means' in the Bible

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

Kings reign by means of me, and potentates decree righteousness;

An inheritance hastily gained [by greedy, unjust means] at the beginningWill not be blessed in the end.

If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
