Proverbs 28:20
Compare all
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. 
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
And does not consider that apoverty will come upon him. 
23 aHe who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
Than he who flatters with the tongue. 
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother,
And says, “It is no transgression,”
The same ais companion to a destroyer.
