Proverbs 28:5-11

New International Version

⁵ Evildoers do not understand what is right,
    but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.

⁶ Better the poor whose walk is blameless
    than the rich whose ways are perverse.^(A)

⁷ A discerning son heeds instruction,
    but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.^(B)

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

⁹ If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
    even their prayers are detestable.^(F)

¹⁰ Whoever leads the upright along an evil path
    will fall into their own trap,^(G)
    but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.

¹¹ The rich are wise in their own eyes;
    one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.
