Share

Settings

20 A 1faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who 2makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To 3show partiality * is not good, 4Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
22 A man with an 5evil eye 6hastens after wealth And does not know that want will come upon him.
23 He who 7rebukes a man will afterward find more favor Than he who 8flatters with the tongue.
24 He who 9robs his father or his mother And says, "It is not a transgression," Is the 10companion of a man who destroys.
25 An arrogant man 11stirs up strife, But he who 12trusts in the LORD 13will prosper.
26 He who 14trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered.
27 He who 15gives to the poor will never want, But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.
