Proverbs 28:20

All About Life

¹⁹ He that tills his land shall be filled with bread, but he that follows after vain persons shall be filled with poverty. ²⁰ A faithful man will abound with blessings,
But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
²¹ To have respect of persons in judgment is not good; even for a piece of bread, man will transgress.
