Proverbs 28:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Whoever works hard will have plenty to eat, but whoever wastes their time with dreams will always be poor.

²⁰ People who can be trusted will have many blessings, but those who are just trying to get rich in a hurry will be punished.

²¹ It is wrong for a judge to support someone simply because he knows them. But some judges will change their decisions for the price of a loaf of bread.
