Proverbs 28:16-22

¹⁶The prince that is void of understanding is also a great oppressor; but he that hateth unjust gain will prolong his days.

¹⁷A man oppressed by the load of having shed human blood will flee even to the pit: let no man hold him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh in integrity will be saved; but he that walketh perversely on two paths, will fall on one.

¹⁹He that tilleth his ground will have plenty of bread; but he that runneth after idle persons will have enough of poverty.

²⁰A faithful man will abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich will not go unpunished.

²¹To have respect to persons is not good; because even for a piece of bread will a man transgress.

²²He that is eager for wealth is a man of an evil eye, and he knoweth not that want will come upon him.
