Proverbs 28:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ Honesty will keep you safe,
but everyone who is crooked
    will suddenly fall.
¹⁹ Work hard, and you will have
    a lot of food;
waste time, and you will have
    a lot of trouble.

²⁰ God blesses his loyal people,
but punishes all who want
    to get rich quick.
