Proverbs 28:3-10

³A poor man that oppresseth the indigent is like a sweeping rain which bringeth no bread.

⁴They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as observe the law contend with them.

⁵Bad men understand not justice; but they that seek the Lord understand all things.

⁶Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁷Whoso keepeth the law is an intelligent son; but he that is a companion of gluttons bringeth dishonor on his father.

⁸He that increaseth his wealth by interest and usury will gather it for him that will be kind to the poor.

⁹When one turneth away his ear so as not to listen to the law, even his prayer becometh an abomination.

¹⁰Whoso causeth the upright to go astray on an evil way, will surely fall into his own ditch; but the men of integrity will inherit what is good.
