Proverbs 28:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 Anyone who leads a blameless life will be safe,
but whoever follows a crooked path will fall into the pit.
19 One who tills his land will not lack for food,
but he who chases fantasies[a] will live in poverty.
20 One who is trustworthy will abound with blessings,[b]
but no one who seeks to get rich quickly will go unpunished.
