Proverbs 28:7-9

⁷Young people who obey the law are intelligent. Those who make friends with good-for-nothings are a disgrace to their parents.

⁸If you get rich by charging interest and taking advantage of people, your wealth will go to someone who is kind to the poor.

⁹If you do not obey the law, God will find your prayers too hateful to hear.
