Proverbs20:17
17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel .
Gain or pleasure procured by unrighteous courses.
It shall be bitter and pernicious at last like grit[illegible: 1+ letters]y Bread, which offends the Teeth and Stomach: it will certainly bring upon him the horrours of a guilty Conscience, and the wrath and judgments of the Almighty God.
Marginal references: Ch. 9. 17.; Heb. bread of lying, or, falshood.
