Proverbs 28:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹To show partiality is not good,
because for a morsel of bread that man will transgress.

²²He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye,
and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

²³He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
than he who flatters with the tongue.
