Proverbs 28:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹A hard worker has plenty of food,
but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

²⁰The trustworthy person will get a rich reward,
but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.

²¹Showing partiality is never good,
yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.
