Mtu mwaminifu atabarikiwa sana, bali yeye atamaniye kupata utajiri kwa haraka hataacha kuadhibiwa.
Proverbs 28:20 in English
Proverbs 28:20 · Berean Standard Bible
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but one eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
Context
18Yeye ambaye mwenendo wake hauna lawama
hulindwa salama,
bali yeye ambaye njia zake ni potovu
ataanguka ghafula. 19Yeye alimaye shamba lake atakuwa na chakula tele,
bali yule afuataye mambo ya upuzi atakuwa na umaskini wa kumtosha. 20Mtu mwaminifu atabarikiwa sana,
bali yeye atamaniye kupata utajiri kwa haraka
hataacha kuadhibiwa. 21Kuonyesha upendeleo si vizuri,
hata hivyo mtu atafanya kosa kwa kipande cha mkate. 22Mtu mchoyo ana tamaa ya kupata utajiri,
naye hana habari kuwa umaskini unamngojea.
