Proverbs 28:8-10
GOD’S WORD Translation
8 Whoever becomes wealthy through ⌞unfair⌟ loans and interest
collects them for the one who is kind to the poor.
9 Surely the prayer of someone who refuses
to listen to ⌞God’s⌟ teachings is disgusting.
10 Whoever leads decent people into evil will fall into his own pit,
but innocent people will inherit good things.
Proverbs 28:8-10
New International Version
8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest(A) or profit from the poor
amasses it for another,(B) who will be kind to the poor.(C)
9 If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction,
even their prayers are detestable.(D)
10 Whoever leads the upright along an evil path
will fall into their own trap,(E)
but the blameless will receive a good inheritance.
Proverbs 28:8-10
King James Version
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
