20 A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
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.

(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.
