Commentary on Proverbs
But a foolish man spends and devours the substance of his family. His wealth is consumed by idleness or extravagance, or by the blasting curse of God; or if he is still rich in possession, ***he does not hold it by a sure tenure***. Sin is often the destruction of men's estates, as well as their souls, and brings present misery as well as eternal ruin.
