Proverbs

⁸He that augmenteth his substance by usury and increase, gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor. ⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. ¹⁰Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the perfect shall inherit good. ¹¹The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. ¹²When the righteous triumph, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves. ¹³He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy. ¹⁴Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
