20 A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
20 Committed and persistent work pays off; get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.
20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
20 The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
22 The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.
22 A stingy man
22 A miser in a hurry to get rich doesn't know that he'll end up broke.
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
22 Greedy people try to get rich quick but don't realize they're headed for poverty.
(Read Proverbs 28:22)
He that hastens to be rich, never seriously thinks how quickly God may take his wealth from him, and leave him in poverty.

(Read Proverbs 28:20)
The true way to be happy, is to be holy and honest; not to raise an estate suddenly, without regard to right or wrong.
