Bible in Basic English
"Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight."
— Proverbs 28:6, Bible in Basic English
“Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.”
A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food.
Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him.
Evil men have no knowledge of what is right; but those who go after the Lord have knowledge of all things.
Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight.
He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.
As for the man whose ear is turned away from hearing the law, even his prayer is disgusting.
