Proverbs 28:9

All About Life

⁸ Whoever gains wealth by charging exorbitant interest collects it for someone who is kind to the poor. ⁹ If someone quits listening to the Law even his prayer is detestable. ¹⁰ Whoever misleads the upright along an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
