Proverbs 28:19-28
-
19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
-
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
-
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
-
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
-
23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
-
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
-
25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
-
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
-
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
