Gill's Notes on the Bible
He that hasteth to be rich,.... As every man that is eagerly desirous of riches is; he would be rich at once z, and cannot wait with any patience in the ordinary course of means:
[hath] an evil eye; on the substance of others, to get it, right or wrong; is an evil man, and takes evil methods to be rich a; see 1 Timothy 6:9; or an envious one; is an envious man; as the Septuagint and Arabic versions; he envies others, as the Vulgate Latin version, the riches of other men; he grudges everything that goes beside himself; and that makes him in haste to be rich, that he may be equal to or superior to others: or he is a sordid, avaricious, illiberal man, that will not part with anything for the relief, for others, and is greedy of everything to amass wealth to himself; an evil eye is opposed to a good or bountiful one, that is, to a man that is liberal and generous, Proverbs 22:9;
and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him; for wealth gotten hastily, and especially wrongfully, diminishes, wastes, and comes to nothing in the end; it sometimes flies away as fast as it comes; it has wings to do the one, as well as the other: this the man in haste to be rich does not consider, or he would have taken another method; since this is not the true way of getting and keeping riches, but of losing them, and coming to want; see Proverbs 13:11.
z "Nam dives qui fieri vult, et cito vult fieri", Juvenal. Satyr. 14. v. 176. a "Sed quae reverentia legum? quis metus, ant pudor est unquam properantis avari?" Juvenal, ib.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The covetous temper leads not only to dishonesty, but to the âevil eyeâ of envy; and the temper of grudging, carking care, leads him to poverty.
