47And they that occupy their merchandize with robbery, the more they decke their citties, their houses, their possessions and their owne persons: 48The more will I be angry with them for their sinne, saith the Lord. 49Like as an whore enuieth a right honest and vertuous woman: 50So shall righteousnesse haue iniquity, when she decketh herselfe, and shall accuse her, to her face, when he commeth that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out euery sinne vpon earth. 51And therfore be yee not like therunto, nor to the workes thereof.
