Proverbs 10:16

A warning against the conclusion to seek wealth first of all, which men of lower natures might draw from Proverbs 10:15.

" Quaerenda pecunia primum est;

Virtus post nummos ?"

Horace, Ep. 1. i. 53.

Such an inference is met by the experience, that while wealth gotten by honest industry is not only, like inherited riches a defense, but also a blessing, the seeming profit (rather than "fruit" ) of the wicked tends to further sin I Timothy 6:10, and so to punishment. Compare Romans 6:21.
