6 Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 28:6
Righteous Boldness, Law-Keeping, Confession, Justice for the Poor, and the Fear of the LORD
The chapter moves from righteous boldness and public justice, to integrity and instruction, to confession and fear of the LORD, to oppressive rulers and blameless walking, to work and greed, to rebuke and trust, and finally to generosity toward the poor and the public effects of wicked rule.
