Proverbs23:4
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom .
Heb. Do not weary thy self with immoderate cares and labors, as many covetous men do.
From that carnal Wisdom which is natural to man in his corrupt estate, which persuades men to believe that it is their interest to use all possible means to get Riches, and that the happiness of their Lives consists in the abundance of their Possessions, directly contrary to the assertion of our blessed▪ Lord, Luke 12▪ 15.
