Ecclesiastes5:13
13 There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt .
Because they frequently are the instruments and occasions both of their present and eternal destruction, as they feed their Pride or Luxury, or other hurtful Lusts which wast the Body, and shorten the Life, and damn the Soul; and as they are great [illegible: 1+ letters]mptations to Tyrants or Thieves, yea sometimes to Relations or Servants, or others, to take away their lives that they may get their Riches.
