Proverbs 28:21-23

Living Bible

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.

²³In the end, people appreciate frankness more than flattery.

²²The stingy are eager to get rich
and are unaware that poverty awaits them.^(D)

rather than one who has a flattering tongue.^(E)
