Proverbs 28:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 The trustworthy will be richly blessed;
but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.(A)
21 To show partiality is never good:(B)
for even a morsel of bread one may do wrong.[a]
22 Misers hurry toward wealth,
not knowing that want is coming toward them.[b]
Footnotes
- 28:21 Cf. 24:23. Verse 21b warns that even in a light matter one must remain impartial.
- 28:22 “Bad of eye” is the Hebrew idiom for miserly. Misers fail to see that poverty is hurrying toward them because of their wrong attitude toward wealth. Because misers are “bad of eye,” they do not see the danger.

20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
