Proverbs 28:10
8 He who increases his wealth by interest and usury lays it up for one who is kind to the poor.
9 Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable.
He who leads the upright along the path of evil will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
11 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with discernment sees through him.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
