22 The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.
22 A stingy man
22 A miser in a hurry to get rich doesn't know that he'll end up broke.
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
22 Greedy people try to get rich quick but don't realize they're headed for poverty.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 28:22

(Read Proverbs 28:22)
He that hastens to be rich, never seriously thinks how quickly God may take his wealth from him, and leave him in poverty.
