Proverbs 28:6-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 28

6Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity, Than a person who is crooked, though he is rich. 7He who keeps the Law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father. 8One who increases his wealth by interest of any kind, Collects it for one who is gracious to the poor. 9One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
King James Version

Chapter 28

6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
Christian Standard Bible

9God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law.

9If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
New King James Version

6Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son, But a companion of gluttons shames his father. 8One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion Gathers it for him who will pity the poor. 9One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
