Proverbs 28:19-25

He who cultivates his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows worthless people and frivolous pursuits will have plenty of poverty. A faithful (right-minded) man will abound with blessings, But he who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished. [Prov 13:11; 20:21; 23:4; 1 Tim 6:9] To have regard for one person over another and to show favoritism is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. He who has an evil and envious eye hurries to be rich And does not know that poverty will come upon him. [Prov 21:5; 28:20] He who [appropriately] reprimands a [wise] man will afterward find more favor Than he who flatters with the tongue. He who robs his father or his mother And says, “This is no sin,” Is [not only a thief but also] the companion of a man who destroys. An arrogant and greedy man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the LORD will be blessed and prosper.
