Proverbs 28:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰The man who wants to do right will get a rich reward. But the man who wants to get rich quick will quickly fail.

²¹Giving preferred treatment to rich people is a clear case of selling one’s soul for a piece of bread.

²²Trying to get rich quick is evil and leads to poverty.
