19 (A)One who works his land will (B)have plenty of food,
But one who follows empty pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20 A (C)faithful person will abound with blessings,
But one who (D)hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To [a](E)show partiality is not good,
(F)Because for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22 A person with an (G)evil eye (H)hurries after wealth
And does not know that poverty will come upon him.
