21 To show partiality is not good—

yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.

22 The stingy are eager to get rich

and are unaware that poverty awaits them.

21 To have respect of persons is not good:

For for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye,

And considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

21 Showing partiality is never good,

yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.

22 Greedy people try to get rich quick

but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.

21 To show partiality is not good,

Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.

22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,

And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

21 It is not good for a judge to take sides,

but some will sin for only a piece of bread.

22 Selfish people are in a hurry to get rich

and do not realize they soon will be poor.

21 To have respect of persons is not good;

Neither that a man should transgress for a piece of bread.

22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches,

And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.

21 To have respect of persons is not good; but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.

22 He that hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth, and knoweth not that poverty shall come upon him.

21 Showing partiality is not good, 

because some people will turn on you even for a piece of bread. 

22 A stingy person is in a hurry to get rich, 

not realizing that poverty is about to overtake him. 

21 It is not good to show partiality —

yet a man may sin for a piece of bread.

22 A greedy man is in a hurry for wealth;

he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him.

21 To show partiality is not good—

yet for a piece of bread a person may do wrong.

22 The miser is in a hurry to get rich

and does not know that loss is sure to come.

21 Showing partiality is not good,

and over a morsel of bread, a strong man will do wrong.

22 He who hurries for wealth is a man with an evil eye,

but he does not know that poverty will come upon him.

21 Favoring one person over another is not good.

But some men will do wrong for a piece of bread.

22 A man who won’t share what he has wants to get rich.

He doesn’t know he is going to be poor.

21 To show partiality is not good,

Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.

22 A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth

And does not know that want will come upon him.
