Verse 15 is found in chapter 28 of Proverbs. The rich may consider themselves wise in their own eyes, but the discerning poor person may understand their condition better. Confession of sin is again presented as a path to mercy. The passage condemns both oppression of the poor and corruption motivated by unjust gain. The conclusion establishes a contrast between walking with integrity and following crooked paths, linking integrity with stability.
