Proverbs 28:5–9

5 The evil do not understand justice,l

but those who seek the Lord understand everything.m

6 Better the poor person who lives with integrityn

than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.A,o

7 A discerning son keeps the law,

but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.p

8 Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interestq

collects it for one who is kind to the poor.r

9 Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law—

even his prayer is detestable.s
