Proverbs 28:18-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is safe,
but one whose ways are crooked falls into a pit.
19 Those who cultivate their land will have plenty of food,
but those who engage in idle pursuits will have plenty of want.(A)
20 The trustworthy will be richly blessed;
but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.(B)
