20 A faithful man will be richly blessed. But anyone who wants to get rich will be punished.
21 Favoring one person over another is not good. But some men will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22 A man who won't share what he has wants to get rich. He doesn't know he is going to be poor.
23 It is better to warn a man than to pretend to praise him. In the end he will be more pleased with you.
24 Anyone who steals from his parents and says, "It's not wrong," is just like a man who destroys.
25 A person who always wants more stirs up fights. But anyone who trusts in the Lord will succeed.
26 Anyone who trusts in himself is foolish. But a person who lives wisely is kept safe.
