Proverbs 28:6-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than he who is crooked though he be rich.

7. He who keeps the law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.

8. He who increases his wealth by interest and usury Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.

9. He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

10. He who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, But the blameless will inherit good.

11. The rich man is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding sees through him.

12. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
