Proverbs 28:4-10

⁴They who forsake the law praise the wicked; But they who keep the law contend with them.

⁵Wicked men understand not equity; But they who seek the LORD understand all things.

⁶Better is a poor man who walketh in uprightness, Than he who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

⁷He that keepeth the law is a wise son; But he that is the companion of prodigals bringeth shame on his father.

⁸He that increaseth his substance by usurious gain Gathereth it for him who will pity the poor.

⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be an abomination.

¹⁰He that causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way Shall himself fall into his own pit; But the upright shall have good things in possession.
