Proverbs 28:11

This rich man thinks that he is wise. He thinks this because he is wealthy. So he supposes that he is wiser than other people.

But the poor man who is wise knows the truth about the rich man. This poor man knows why the rich man is wealthy. This rich man is wealthy because he cheats poor people. If the rich man were wise, he would respect God. And he would respect God’s law. So this rich man cannot be wise.

Some wise people are rich. But many wise people are poor. And a poor person who is wise is better than a rich fool.
