1599 Geneva Bible
8 He that increaseth his riches by usury and interest, gathereth [a]them for him that will be merciful unto the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer shall be [b]abominable.
10 He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an evil way, shall fall into his own pit, and the upright shall inherit good things.
