Proverbs 28:6: Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Proverbs 28:7: Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. Proverbs 28:8: He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

Proverbs 28:23: He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Proverbs 28:24: Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. Proverbs 28:25: He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. Proverbs 28:26: He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:27: He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Proverbs 28:28: When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
