- Proverbs 28:22
- He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
- John 19:23-24
- Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments ... and
also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might
be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things
therefore the soldiers did.
(Since the Roman soldiers were bad guys and they gambled for the robe of
Jesus, gambling must be bad.)
