I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
For my people are foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demoniacal.
