Proverbs 28:20-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. A man of truth has many blessings, But one in a hurry to be rich does not go unpunished.

21. To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man would transgress.

22. A man with an evil eye runs after wealth, And does not know that poverty awaits him.

23. He who reproves a man finds more favour afterward Than he who flatters with the tongue.

24. He who robs his father or his mother, And says, “It is no transgression,” He is a companion to a destroyer.

25. He who is greedy stirs up strife, But he who trusts in יהוה prospers.

26. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely is delivered.

27. He who gives to the poor does not lack, But he who hides his eyes does have many curses.
