1 Samuel 25:6

1Sa 25:6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity], Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine house, and peace [be] unto all that thou hast.

Ver. 6. And thus shall ye say to him that liveth. ] Rich men only seem to live, - the Irish ask such what they meant to die; - poor people are reckoned among the dead, as it were; there is little account made of them, they stand for ciphers and shadows.
