Proverbs 28:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.

²⁰A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.

²¹He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.

Proverbs 28:19-21

but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.^(A)

²⁰A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.^(B)
