Proverbs28:22
22 He that hasteth to be rich, hath an evil eye , and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him .
Is uncharitable to Persons in want, envious towards those who get any thing, besides him, and covetous or greedy of getting Riches by all ways possible, whether just or unjust. Thus an evil Eye is taken, Prov. 23. 6. Mat. 20. 15. as a good Eye notes the contrary disposition, Prov. 22. 9.
And consequently that he shall need the pity and help of others, which he cannot expect either from God or men, who hath so hardned himself against others in misery.
Marginal references: Or, he that hath▪ an evil eye, hasteth to be rich. Vers. 20. Ch. 28. 20.
