A deceitful hand, &c. False dealing is no profitable trade Doct. 1 to gain by, it rather hurteth then helpeth them that use it. 1Tending to this purpose are many Parables in this book, as Chap. 13. 11. The riches of vanity shall be diminished, they may be gotten, but not long kept, and though they perish not, nor be taken away all at once, yet they will consume and be wasted by degrees. And as this event is here declared to come upon evil gotten goods, so in an other place he telleth the misery that shall overtake the men themselves, that so fish for them. Chap. 19. 15. A deceitful person shall be affamished. As wealth will forsake them, so friends will fail them, and God will curse them, and poverty will oppress them.
