Proverbs 28:21-23
Contemporary English Version

21 It isn't right to be unfair,
but some people can be bribed
    with only a piece of bread.
22 Don't be selfish
    and eager to get rich—
you will end up worse off
    than you can imagine.

23 Honest correction
is appreciated
    more than flattery.

Proverbs 28:21-23
New International Version

21 To show partiality(A) is not good(B)—
    yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.(C)

22 The stingy are eager to get rich
    and are unaware that poverty awaits them.(D)

23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor
    rather than one who has a flattering tongue.(E)
