Prov 23:4 · Douay-Rheims
“Labour not to be rich: but set bounds to thy prudence.”
On this verse:
“Prudence. Be more solicitous for this, than to acquire riches. (Calmet) — Yet this wisdom must be sober, Romans xii. 3., and 1 Timothy vi. 9. Septuagint, “being poor, do not stretch forth thyself to the rich, but prudently retire,[“] ver. 2. (Haydock)”
