Proverbs 28:20

All About Life

¹⁹ He that tilleth his land, shall have plenteousness of bread; but he that followeth idleness, shall have poverty enough. ²⁰ A faithful man is greatly to be commended, but he that maketh too much haste for to be rich, shall not be unguilty. ²¹ To have respect of persons in judgment is not good: And why? He will do wrong; yea, even for a piece of bread.
