Diligence, Wealth, and Trust

19

¶ He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20

¶ A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

21

¶ To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

22

¶ He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

23

¶ He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

24

¶ Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

25

¶ He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

26

¶ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

27

¶ He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

28

¶ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
