19
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!
20
A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
21
To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
22
A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
23
He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward Than he who flatters with the tongue.
24
Whoever robs his father or his mother, And says, "It is no transgression," The same is companion to a destroyer.
25
He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
26
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27
He who gives to the poor will not lack, But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28
When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.
