“A faithful man is rich with blessings;but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.”
Proverbs 28:20 (WEB)
Context Reading
18Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly. 19One who works his land will have an abundance of food;but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. 20A faithful man is rich with blessings;but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished. 21To show partiality is not good,yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread. 22A stingy man hurries after riches,and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
