19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food;but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings;but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To show partiality is not good;yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22 A stingy man hurries after riches,and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favourthan one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,”is a partner with a destroyer.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife;but one who trusts in the Lord will prosper.
