Proverbs 28:20
A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.

This is true as a general principle; faithfulness and obedience to God’s law brings blessings. It was especially true under the old covenant, where God promised blessings on the obedient and curses on the disobedient (Deuteronomy 27-28).

The one who hastens to be rich is almost always willing to cheat or compromise to gain wealth. God promises that this one will be punished, either in this life or the next.

Application

Read Deuteronomy 27-28 and pray.
