Proverbs
Chapters 28:18-24
New International Version Anglicized
18The one whose way of life is blameless is kept safe,but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.
19Those who work their land will have abundant food,but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
20A faithful person will be richly blessed,but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
21To show partiality is not good –yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22The stingy are eager to get richand are unaware that poverty awaits them.
23Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favourrather than one who has a flattering tongue.
24Whoever robs their father or motherand says, ‘It’s not wrong,’is partner to one who destroys.
