Proverbs10:22
22. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich , and he addeth no sorrow with it .
Riches are not got by Wisdom or diligence, but only by Gods Favour and Blessing.
i. e. with that blessing which gives Riches, but gives them content and comfort in their Riches, which is a singular gift and blessing of God, of which see Eccles. 2. 24. 26. & 3. 13. & 5. 17, 18. whereas the Riches which wicked men get, are attended with Gods Curse, with many discontents, with tormenting cares and fears, with horrours of Conscience, and with the just dread of a sad account to God for them.
