Proverbs 28:19-25

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.

²³He that reproveth a man after my example will obtain more grace than he that flattereth with the tongue.

²⁴Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, it is no transgression,—the same is a companion of a destroyer.

²⁵He that hath an insatiable desire stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord will be abundantly gratified.
