Context of Proverbs 28:10

8He who increases his wealth by interest and usury lays it up for one who is kind to the poor. 9Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable. He who leads the upright along the path of evil will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good. 11A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man with discernment sees through him. 12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
