Footnote:
Psalm 62:9, 10. James 5:1. For the same reason our Lord denominates riches generally by the distinctive term of "the mammon of unrighteousness." Luke 16:9.
Psalm 62:9, 10
9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. {altogether: or, alike}
10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
James 5:1
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Luke 16:9
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. {mammon: or, riches}
