Proverbs 28:20

All About Life

¹⁹ He who tills his land will have plenty of food,
But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.
²⁰ A faithful man will abound with blessings,
But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
²¹ To show partiality is not good,
Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
