Proverbs 22:16-18

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶ He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches,
    and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.

¹⁷ Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
¹⁸ For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee;
they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
