Proverbs 28:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Evildoers simply cannot comprehend justice,
but those who seek the Lord[a] understand it completely.
6 It is far better to be poor and beyond reproach
than to become rich through dishonest means.
7 A wise son obeys the law,
but a companion of gluttons shames his father.
