20
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich
1will not go unpunished.
21
To show
2partiality is not good, but for
3a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22
A
4stingy man
5hastens after wealth and does not know that
6poverty will come upon him.
23
Whoever
7rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than
8he who flatters with his tongue.
24
Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, "That is no transgression," is
9a companion to a man who destroys.
25
A greedy man
10stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the LORD will
11be enriched.
26
Whoever
12trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
27
Whoever
13gives to the poor will not want, but he who
14hides his eyes will get many a curse.
28
When
15the wicked rise,
16people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
