19  ⁱWhoever works his land will have plenty of bread,

but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

20  A faithful man will abound with blessings,

but whoever hastens to be rich ^jwill not go unpunished.

22  A ^mstingy man^{1 n}hastens after wealth

and does not know that ^opoverty will come upon him.

24  Whoever robs his father or his mother

and says, “That is no transgression,”

is ^ra companion to a man who destroys.

27  Whoever ^vgives to the poor will not want,

but he who ^whides his eyes will get many a curse.
