Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 30:9

9 Lest I be full, and deny thee , and say, who is the LORD ? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain .

By trusting to Riches, which is a denial of God, Iob 31. 24—28. by unthankfulness for, and abuse of his mercies, and by rebellion against him, and divers other courses and common practices of rich men, whereby God is denied in truth, and in works, even when he is owned in words, and in shew.

That I should obey or serve him. I do not need him, I can live of my own without him. Lest by degrees I should arrive at down right Atheism or infidelity, which is most incident to rich and great men, as is manifest from Experience.

Use false Oaths either to vindicate my self when I am suspected or accused of Theft, and my Oath is required according to the Law, Exod. 22. 8—11. or to gratifie others for filthy lucre, as poor men frequently do.
