Proverbs 28:19-28

English Standard Version

^19 (A)Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
    but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
²⁰ A faithful man will abound with blessings,
    but whoever hastens to be rich ^(B)will not go unpunished.
²¹ To show ^(C)partiality is not good,
    but for ^(D)a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
²² A ^(E)stingy man^{[a] (F)}hastens after wealth
    and does not know that ^(G)poverty will come upon him.
²³ Whoever ^(H)rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
    than ^(I)he who flatters with his tongue.
²⁴ Whoever robs his father or his mother
    and says, “That is no transgression,”
    is ^(J)a companion to a man who destroys.
²⁵ A greedy man ^(K)stirs up strife,
    but the one who trusts in the Lord will ^(L)be enriched.
²⁶ Whoever ^(M)trusts in his own mind is a fool,
    but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
²⁷ Whoever ^(N)gives to the poor will not want,
    but he who ^(O)hides his eyes will get many a curse.
²⁸ When ^(P)the wicked rise, ^(Q)people hide themselves,
    but when they perish, the righteous increase.
