Proverbs 28:19-20

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
but he who makes haste to be rich will not be innocent.

but he who puts his trust in the Lord will prosper.
Proverbs 30:8-9
Modern English Version
8 Remove vanity and lies far from me—
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me;
9 lest I be full, and deny You,
and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
