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. He who trusts confidently in his own heart is a [dull, thickheaded] fool, But he who walks in [skillful and godly] wisdom will be rescued. [James 1:5] He who gives to the poor will never want, But he who shuts his eyes [from their need] will have many curses. [Deut 15:7; Prov 19:17; 22:9] When the wicked rise [to power], men hide themselves; But when the wicked perish, the [consistently] righteous increase and become great. [Prov 28:12]
