Proverbs 28:19-28 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

19. Whoever works his land will be satisfied with food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

20. A faithful man will have many blessings, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.

21. To show partiality is not good— yet for a piece of bread a man may do wrong.

22. A stingy man chases after riches, but does not know that poverty will overtake him.

23. One who rebukes a man will in the end find more favor than one with a flattering tongue.

24. Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, “It’s not a crime,” is a partner to him who destroys.

25. A greedy soul stirs up strife, but one who trusts in Adonai prospers.

26. Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will escape.

27. One who gives to the poor will not lack, but one who shuts his eyes will have many curses.

28. When the wicked rise to power, people hide, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
