Proverbs 28:6-10, 13-15, 17-28 NIV
[6] Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse. [7] A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father. [8] Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor. [9] If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable. [10] Whoever leads the upright along an evil path will fall into their own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
[13] Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. [14] Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble. [15] Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
[17] Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder will seek refuge in the grave; let no one hold them back. [18] The one whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit. [19] Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty. [20] A faithful person will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. [21] To show partiality is not good— yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread. [22] The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them. [23] Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue. [24] Whoever robs their father or mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is partner to one who destroys. [25] The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper. [26] Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe. [27] Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
