Proverbs 28:8-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. He who by usury and unjust gain increases his substancewill gather it for him who will pity the poor.

9. He who turns away his ear from hearing instruction,even his prayer will be an abomination.

10. Whoever causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way,he himself will fall into his own pit;but the upright will have good things in possession.

11. The rich man is wise in his own conceit,but the poor who has understanding searches him out.

12. When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory;but when the wicked rise, a man hides himself.
