Crooked Food
18
The blameless will be rescued from harm,
but the crooked will be suddenly destroyed.
19
A hard worker has plenty of food,
but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.
20
The trustworthy person will get a rich reward,
but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.
Walking blamelessly is the right path, but straying from it leads to consequences.
Verse 19, written long before modern welfare systems, emphasizes a simple principle: if you work, you eat; if you don’t, you won’t.
Verse 20 explains that a rich person can be blessed, though not necessarily with material wealth. If you make getting rich the focus of your life, you will face consequences because your true purpose is to worship God, not money.
Think about this: Having money isn’t sinful, but loving it, worshiping it, or being greedy for it is. How much do you desire money? Are you able to keep it in its proper place, or does it control you?
