Proverbs 28:1-28
He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
If anyone turns a deaf ear to the law, even his prayers are detestable.
A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.
He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but however confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
To show partiality is not good-- yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.
Why?
Increase his wealth by exorbitant interest does not mean he can enjoy his wealth, but will be kind to the poor- another one.
The Law include the national law and the word of the Lord, so those who forsake the law praise the wicked.(v4)
A rich man usually proud for his own decision and wise, but others don't think so.
Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, not sometimes, but always. Fear the Lord in our life and everyday. And faithful man will be richly blessed also. Another one is he who gives to the poor, he will lack nothing, he is rich either.
Eager to get rich will not go unpunished for he went through the wrong way or short way with wicked mind. To be rich is the blessing of the Lord, blessed man doesn't mean he is rich but he will rest in peace.
How?
I hope be a rich man with blessed from the Lord, so I should be 1) a faithful man, 2)always fear the Law and 3)give to the poor as I can.
