“A stingy man hurries after riches,and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.”
Proverbs 28:22 (WEB)
Context Reading
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. 23One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favorthan one who flatters with the tongue. 24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,”is a partner with a destroyer.
