Proverbs 28:8

Lexham English Bible

⁸He who augments his wealth with interest and with usury
gathers it for him who is kind to the poor.

Proverbs 28:8

New Living Translation

⁸Income from charging high interest rates
will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor.

⁸Whoever increases wealth by taking interest^(A) or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,^(B) who will be kind to the poor.^(C)

²⁰A man of faithfulness has abundant blessings,
but he who hurries to become rich will not go unpunished.

²⁰The trustworthy person will get a rich reward,
but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.

²⁰A faithful person will be richly blessed,
but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.^(A)
