Catholic 1849 · Haydock’s Catholic Bible Commentary, Proverbs 13:11

George Leo Haydock, on Prov 13:11

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Prov 13:11 · Douay-Rheims
“Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.”
On this verse:
“Haste. Hebrew, “by vanity,” and injustice. Those who become rich on a sudden fall under suspicion, as a Roman objected to Sylla, who had inherited nothing. (Plut.[Plutarch?]) — By little. Hebrew, “he that gathereth by labour, (Septuagint, piety) shall increase.” (Protestants) (Haydock)”
