Proverbs 28:6-8

The Message

⁶ It’s better to be poor and direct
    than rich and crooked.

⁷ Practice God’s law—get a reputation for wisdom;
    hang out with a loose crowd—embarrass your family.

⁸ Get as rich as you want
    through cheating and extortion,
But eventually some friend of the poor
    is going to give it all back to them.
