Proverbs 28:7-17

7 Those who keep the law are wise children, but companions of gluttons shame their parents.
8 One who augments wealth by exorbitant interest gathers it for another who is kind to the poor.
9 When one will not listen to the law, even one's prayers are an abomination.
10 Those who mislead the upright into evil ways will fall into pits of their own making, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.
11 The rich is wise in self-esteem, but an intelligent poor person sees through the pose.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked prevail, people go into hiding.
13 No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14 Happy is the one who is never without fear, but one who is hard-hearted will fall into calamity.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor; but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.
17 If someone is burdened with the blood of another, let that killer be a fugitive until death; let no one offer assistance.
