Wealth, the Poor, Prayer, Confession, and Fear
Unjust interest and exploitative gain may eventually serve those who show mercy to the poor. Prayer is morally connected to hearing God’s law, and the section gives a crucial confession principle: hiding sin does not prosper, but confession and forsaking receive mercy; blessedness belongs to reverent, responsive fear rather than hardened confidence.
Proverbs 28:13 contrasts concealing sin with confessing and forsaking it to obtain mercy; 1 John says that if believers confess sins, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse.
