Esther 16:2–4

²Many, the more often they are honoured with the great bounty of their gracious princes, the more proud they are waxen, ³And endeavour to hurt not our subjects only, but not being able to bear abundance, do take in hand to practise also against those that do them good: ⁴And take not only thankfulness away from among men, but also lifted up with the glorious words of lewd persons, that were never good, they think to escape the justice of God, that seeth all things and hateth evil.
