18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be¹ saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.

19 ^aHe who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
^aBut he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

21 ^aTo¹ show partiality is not good,
^bBecause for a piece of bread a man will transgress.

And does not consider that ^apoverty will come upon him.
