That giveth to the rich; that vainly and prodigally casts away his estate upon those who do not need it, or gives it to them with evil design, as that they may assist him in oppressing the poor, or at least not hinder him in it.

16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
