Context of Proverbs 28:10
8He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase, Gathereth it for him that hath pity on the poor. 9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, He shall fall himself into his own pit; But the perfect shall inherit good. 11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; But the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
