Proverbs 28:8-15

⁸He that increases his wealth by usuries and unjust gains, gathers it for him that pities the poor.

⁹He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even he has made his prayer abominable.

¹⁰He that causes upright men to err in an evil way, himself shall fall into destruction: transgressor also shall pass by prosperity, but shall not enter into it.

¹¹A rich man is wise in his own conceit; but an intelligent poor man will condemn him.

¹²By reason of the help of righteous men great glory arises: but in the places of the ungodly men are caught.

¹³He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper: but he that blames himself shall be loved.

¹⁴Blessed is the man who religiously fears always: but the hard of heart shall fall into mischiefs.

¹⁵A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he, who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.
