Proverbs 28:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version

6 Better a poor person who walks in his integrity
    than a rich person who is hypocritical.[a]
7 The son who keeps the law has understanding,
but a companion of gluttons brings shame upon his father.
8 A person who increases his wealth by piling up interest
    gathers it for someone who is generous to the needy.
