Proverbs 28:20

All About Life

¹⁹ He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after worthless pursuits shall have poverty enough. ²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not go unpunished. ²¹ To show partiality is not good: because for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
