SCRIPTURE

"He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; But he that putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat." — Proverbs 28:25 (ASV)

He that is of a proud heart.— Who thinks much of himself, stirreth up strife by his struggles with others for pre-eminence, and mostly gains only vexation and disappointment for his trouble; but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat, being richly rewarded with that peace which passeth all understanding.
