Proverbs 28:9

All About Life

⁸ He who increases his wealth by interest and usury
Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.
⁹ He who turns away his ear from listening to the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
¹⁰ He who leads the upright astray in an evil way
Will himself fall into his own pit,
But the blameless will inherit good.
