New King James Version

Proverbs 28:6-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

6. Better is the poor who walks in his integrityThan one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7. Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8. One who increases his possessions by usury and extortionGathers it for him who will pity the poor.

9. One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,Even his prayer is an abomination.

10. Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,He himself will 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 searches him out.
