Proverbs 28:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
4
Those who abandon the Law praise the wicked,
But those who keep the Law strive against them.
5
Evil people do not understand justice,
But those who seek the
Lord
understand everything.
6
Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity,
Than a person who is crooked, though he is rich.
7
He who keeps the Law is a discerning son,
But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.
8
One who increases his wealth by interest
of any kind,
Collects it for one who is gracious to the poor.
9
One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.
King James Version
Chapter 28
4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the
Lord
understand all things.
6
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7
Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
4
Those who reject the law praise the wicked,
but those who keep the law pit themselves against them.
5
The evil do not understand justice,
but those who seek the
Lord
understand everything.
6
Better the poor person who lives with integrity
than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.
7
A discerning son keeps the law,
but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.
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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
4
To reject the law is to praise the wicked;
to obey the law is to fight them.
5
Evil people don’t understand justice,
but those who follow the
Lord
understand completely.
6
Better to be poor and honest
than to be dishonest and rich.
7
Young people who obey the law are wise;
those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.
8
Income from charging high interest rates
will end up in the pocket of someone who is kind to the poor.
9
God detests the prayers
of a person who ignores the law.
