Proverbs 28:6

Lexham English Bible

⁶Better to be poor and walking in one’s integrity
than to be crooked of ways when one is rich.

Proverbs 28:6

Common English Bible

⁶Better to be poor and walk in innocence
than to be on crooked paths and wealthy.

¹⁹He who tills his ground will have plenty bread,
but he who follows fantasies will have plenty of poverty.

¹⁹Those who work the land will have plenty to eat,
but those with worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

²⁵The greedy person^[a] will stir up strife,
but he who trusts in Yahweh will be enriched.

²⁵Greedy people stir up conflict,
but those who trust the Lord become prosperous.

²⁷For he who gives to the poor, there is no lacking,
but for he^[a] who turns his eyes, there are many curses.

²⁷Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,
but those who turn a blind eye will be greatly cursed.
