Proverbs 28:17-23

¹⁷If a man is guilty because he has shed someone's blood, he will be a fugitive until death and no one will help him.

¹⁸Whoever walks with integrity will be kept safe, but the one whose way is crooked will suddenly fall.

¹⁹The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

²⁰A faithful man will have great blessings, but the one who gets rich quickly will not go unpunished.

²¹It is not good to show partiality, but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.

²²A stingy man hurries after riches, but he does not know that poverty will come upon him.

²³Whoever disciplines someone, afterward will find more favor from him than from the one who flatters him with his tongue.
