Proverbs 28:16-22

¹⁶A duke needy of prudence shall oppress many men by false challenge; but the days of him that hateth avarice shall be made long.

¹⁷No man sustain a man that falsely challengeth the blood of a man, if he fleeth till to the pit.

¹⁸He that goeth simply shall be safe; he that goeth by wayward ways, shall fall down at once.

¹⁹He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; he that pursueth or followeth idleness, shall be filled with neediness.

²⁰A faithful man shall be praised much; but he that hasteth to be made rich, shall not be innocent.

²¹He that knoweth a face in doom, doeth not well; this man forsaketh truth, yea, for a morsel of bread.

²²A man that hasteth to be made rich, and hath envy to other men, knoweth not that neediness shall come up on him.
