Proverbs 28:6-8

The Voice

⁶It is better to be a pauper walking in integrity
than a dishonest man, even if he is rich.

⁷Whoever follows God’s teaching is a wise child,
but the one who spends time with gluttons and drunks disgraces his parents.

⁸Anyone who increases his wealth by charging a high rate of interest
is only collecting it for another who will deal more liberally with the poor.

Proverbs 28:6-8

New International Version

⁶Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than the rich whose ways are perverse.^(A)

⁷A discerning son heeds instruction,
but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.^(B)

⁸Whoever increases wealth by taking interest^(C) or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,^(D) who will be kind to the poor.^(E)
