Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 028

 

028:001The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are
bold as a lion.

 

028:002For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof:
but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof
shall be prolonged.

 

028:003A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain
which leaveth no food.

 

028:004They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep
the law contend with them.

 

028:005Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD
understand all things.

 

028:006Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he
that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

 

028:007Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a
companion of riotous men shameth his father.

 

028:008He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he
shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

 

028:009He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his
prayer shall be abomination.

 

028:010Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he
shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall
have good things in possession.

 

028:011The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that
hath understanding searcheth him out.

 

028:012When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when
the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

 

028:013He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

 

028:014Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his
heart shall fall into mischief.

 

028:015As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler
over the poor people.

 

028:016The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great
oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his
days.

 

028:017A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall
flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

 

028:018Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is
perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

 

028:019He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he
that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

 

028:020A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh
haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

 

028:021To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of
bread that man will transgress.

 

028:022He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth
not that poverty shall come upon him.

 

028:023He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than
he that flattereth with the tongue.

 

028:024Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no
transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

 

028:025He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that
putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

 

028:026He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh
wisely, he shall be delivered.

 

028:027He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that
hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

 

028:028When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they
perish, the righteous increase.
