Context of Proverbs 28:10
8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance gathereth it for him that is gracious to 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, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good. 11A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves.
