Proverbs 28:20-28

Revised Standard Version RSV

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

21 To show partiality is not good; but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.

22 A miserly man hastens after wealth, and does not know that want will come upon him.

23 He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue.

24 He who robs his father or his mother and says, "That is no transgression," is the companion of a man who destroys.

25 A greedy man stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the LORD will be enriched.

26 He who trusts in his own mind is a fool; but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

27 He who gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
