Proverbs 28:6

New International Reader's Version

It is better to be poor and live without blame than to be rich and follow a crooked path.

See the chapter Copy

Whoever has respect for the Lord lives a good life. But those who hate him walk down an evil path.

It is better to have a little and do right than to have a lot and be unfair.

It is better to be poor and to live without blame than to be foolish and to twist words around.

Everyone longs for love that never fails. It is better to be poor than to be a liar.

Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe. But anyone whose path is crooked will fall into the pit.
