18 (A)Whoever (B)walks in integrity will be delivered,
    but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.
19 (C)Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
    but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
    but whoever hastens to be rich (D)will not go unpunished.
21 To show (E)partiality is not good,
    but for (F)a piece of bread a man will do wrong.
22 A (G)stingy man[a] (H)hastens after wealth
    and does not know that (I)poverty will come upon him.
23 Whoever (J)rebukes a man will afterward find more favor
    than (K)he who flatters with his tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother
    and says, “That is no transgression,”
    is (L)a companion to a man who destroys.
25 A greedy man (M)stirs up strife,
    but the one who trusts in the Lord will (N)be enriched.
