Proverbs 23:4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Do not wear yourself out to gain wealth,
cease to be worried about it;
Proverbs 23:4
New International Version
Saying 8
4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;
do not trust your own cleverness.
Proverbs 28:22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Misers hurry toward wealth,
not knowing that want is coming toward them.[a]
Footnotes
- 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.
Proverbs 28:22
New International Version
22 The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them.(A)
