Proverbs 28:6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Better to be poor and walk in integrity than to be crooked in one’s ways even though rich.

See the chapter Copy

Those who walk uprightly fear the Lord, but one who is devious in conduct despises him.

Better is a little with righteousness than large income with injustice.

Better the poor walking in integrity than one perverse of speech who is a fool.

What is desirable in a person is loyalty, and it is better to be poor than a liar.

One who walks in integrity will be safe, but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.
