18 One who walks blamelessly will receive help,
But one who is [a](A)crooked will fall all at once.
19 (B)One who works his land will (C)have plenty of food,
But one who follows empty pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20 A (D)faithful person will abound with blessings,
But one who (E)hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To [b](F)show partiality is not good,
(G)Because for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22 A person with an (H)evil eye (I)hurries after wealth
And does not know that poverty will come upon him.
