"A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished." Proverbs 28:20 (NIV) The King James Version of The Bible reads: "A faithful man shall abound with blessings; but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent."
King Solomon, the wisest man ever, wrote that a man who is faithful unto The Lord God and unto The Word of God would be abundantly blessed. He also wrote that the man who sought riches instead of the kingdom of God would be punished.
We need to understand that we are to make seeking the kingdom of heaven our first and most important priority. (Matthew 6:33) We are to have faith in God, and we are to demonstrate and exercise our faith. (Mark 11:22) If we are faithful, true believers and loyal followers of Christ, then we will be richly and abundantly blessed. Those who choose to put the pursuit of worldly riches and desires ahead of God will be punished. The honest believer will be blessed while the unscrupulous schemer will be punished.
