Proverbs 28:19-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless people and pursuits will have poverty enough.

²⁰ A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished.^(A)

²¹ To have respect of persons and to show partiality is not good, neither is it good that man should transgress for a piece of bread.

²² He who has an evil and covetous eye hastens to be rich and knows not that want will come upon him.^(B)
