Albert Barnes Commentary
"A faithful man shall abound with blessings; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished." — Proverbs 28:20 (ASV)
Not the possession of wealth, nor even the acquisition of it, is evil, but the eager haste of covetousness.
Shall not be innocent — Better, as in the margin, in contrast with the many “blessings” of the “faithful.”
