Proverbs 28:20-22

The Message

²⁰Committed and persistent work pays off;
get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.

²¹Playing favorites is always a bad thing;
you can do great harm in seemingly harmless ways.

²²A miser in a hurry to get rich
doesn’t know that he’ll end up broke.

Proverbs 28:20-22

yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.^(D)

and are unaware that poverty awaits them.^(E)
