NASB | Proverbs 28:8 He who increases his wealth by interest and usury Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 28:8 He who increases his wealth by interest and usury (excessive interest) Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor. [Job 27:16, 17; Prov 13:22; Eccl 2:26] |
Bible Question (short): Usury, extortion and the poor |
Question (full): I am having a hard time understanding the last half of Proverbs 28:8. How can a person who gets his wealth from usury and extortion gathers it for him who has pity on the poor? Doesn't that wealthy man have no interest of poor people? What does this verse mean? |
