Proverbs 28:17-23

¹⁷A man that is laden with the blood of any person Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.

¹⁸Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered; But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

¹⁹He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

²⁰A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished.

²¹To have respect of persons is not good; Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

²²He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.

²³He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
