Proverbs 28:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 28:9

7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8 One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion
Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.

9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,
^aEven his prayer is an abomination.

10 ^aWhoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way,
He himself will fall into his own pit;
^bBut the blameless will inherit good.

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