Proverbs 28:9

All About Life

⁸ Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest
collects it for one who is kind to the poor. ⁹ Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law—
even his prayer is detestable. ¹⁰ The one who leads the upright into an evil way
will fall into his own pit,
but the blameless will inherit what is good.

O God
