Proverbs 28:8-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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

9. He who turns his ear from listening to instruction, even his prayer is an abomination.

10. He who misleads the upright onto the way of evil, into his pits he will fall. But as for the blameless, they will inherit good.

11. A man of wealth is wise in his own eyes, but the intelligent poor sees through him.

12. When the righteous triumphs, great is the glory, but with the rising of the wicked, a person will be hidden.

13. He who conceals his transgression will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes will obtain mercy.
