Proverbs 28:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Whoever heeds instruction is a wise son,
but whoever joins with wastrels disgraces his father.
8 Whoever amasses wealth by interest and overcharge[a]
gathers it for the one who is kind to the poor.
9 Those who turn their ears from hearing instruction,(A)
even their prayer is an abomination.
