Context of Proverbs 28:10

8The one who increases his wealth by increasing interest gathers it for someone who is gracious to the needy. 9The one who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. The one who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good. 11A rich person is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly. 12When the righteous rejoice, great is the glory, but when the wicked rise to power, people are sought out.
