Proverbs 28:20

All About Life

¹⁹ He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he pursuing vanities shall have poverty enough. ²⁰ A faithful man shall overflow with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent. ²¹ To have respect of persons is not good; yea, for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
