Mishle 28:8-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. He that by neshekh (interest) and increase increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the dalim (poor ones).

9. He that turneth away his ozen from mishmo'a torah (heeding torah), even his tefillah (prayer) shall be to'evah (abomination).

10. He who causeth the yesharim (upright ones) to go astray in a derech rah, he shall fall himself into his own trap, but the blameless ones shall inherit tov.

11. The ish oisher is chacham in his own eyes, but the dal meiven (poor man with understanding) searcheth him out.

12. When tzaddikim do triumph, there is rabbah tiferet (great glory), but when the resha'im rise, the people go into hiding.

13. He that covereth his peysha'im (sins) shall not prosper, but he who confesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy.

14. Ashrei adam that is reverent always, but he that hardeneth his lev shall fall into ra'ah.
