Proverbs 28:19-24 New Century Version (NCV)

19. Those who work their land will have plenty of food,but the ones who chase empty dreams instead will end up poor.

20. A truthful person will have many blessings,but those eager to get rich will be punished.

21. It is not good for a judge to take sides,but some will sin for only a piece of bread.

22. Selfish people are in a hurry to get richand do not realize they soon will be poor.

23. Those who correct others will later be likedmore than those who give false praise.

24. Whoever robs father or motherand says, “It’s not wrong,”is just like someone who destroys things.
