Proverbs 28:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ If you obey the law, you are a wise child.
But if you make friends with greedy people,
    you will make your parents ashamed.
⁸ If you make people pay more when you lend money to them,
    you may become rich.
But someone else will enjoy your riches.
    They will go to someone who is kind to poor people.
⁹ If you refuse to listen to God's law,
    God will refuse to listen to your prayers.
