One who increases his wealth by [a](A)interest of any kind,
Collects it (B)for one who is gracious to the poor.
One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,
Even his (C)prayer is an abomination.
10 One who leads the upright astray in an evil way
Will (D)himself fall into his own pit,
But the (E)blameless will inherit good.

    but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
