To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

Verse 21 is found in chapter 28 of Proverbs. Diligent work produces sustenance, while pursuing fantasies leads to poverty. Favoritism toward the rich is condemned even when it appears advantageous. Frank correction is preferable to flattery, and one who robs his parents and justifies it reveals corruption that contradicts family responsibility. The chapter thus maintains an integrated view of work, justice, truth, and relationships.

Person ansehen ist nicht gut; und mancher tut übel auch wohl um ein Stück Brot.
Tener acepción de personas, no es bueno: Hasta por un bocado de pan prevaricará el hombre.
Il n'est pas bon d'avoir égard aux personnes, Et pour un morceau de pain un homme se livre au péché.
Egli non è bene di aver riguardo alla qualità delle persone; E per un boccon di pane l’uomo commette misfatto
Dar importância à aparência das pessoas não é bom, porque até por um bocado de pão um homem prevaricará.
看人情面是不好的; 卻有人因一塊餅而犯法。
