PROVERBS 28



Pr 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursues, / But the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Pr 28:2 When a land revolts, it has many rulers; / But by him who has understanding and knowledge it endures.

Pr 28:3 A destitute man who oppresses the poor / Is like a driving rain which leaves no food.

Pr 28:4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, / But those who keep the law contend with them.

Pr 28:5 Evil men do not understand justice, / But those who seek Jehovah understand all things.

Pr 28:6 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity / Than he who is perverse in his ways though he is rich.

Pr 28:7 Whoever keeps the law is an understanding son, / But he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.

Pr 28:8 He who increases his substance by interest and usury / Gathers it for him who is gracious to the poor.

Pr 28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, / Even his prayer is an abomination.

Pr 28:10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way / Will himself fall into his own pit, / But the perfect will inherit good.

Pr 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit, / But the poor man who has understanding searches him out.

Pr 28:12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; / But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.

Pr 28:13 He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, / But whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

Pr 28:14 Blessed is the man who always fears, / But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Pr 28:15 Like a roaring lion and a roving bear / Is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

Pr 28:16 The ruler who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor, / But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

Pr 28:17 A man who is burdened with a person’s blood / Will be a fugitive until death; / Let no man support him.

Pr 28:18 Whoever walks uprightly will be delivered, / But he who is perverse in his ways will fall all at once.

Pr 28:19 He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, / But he who pursues worthless things will have plenty of poverty.

Pr 28:20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, / But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished.

Pr 28:21 To have respect of persons is not good, / Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.

Pr 28:22 A man who is envious hastens after wealth, / And does not know that want will come upon him.

Pr 28:23 He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor / Than he who flatters with the tongue.

Pr 28:24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, / It is no transgression, / Is the companion of a man who destroys.

Pr 28:25 A greedy person stirs up contention, / But he who trusts in Jehovah will prosper.

Pr 28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, / But he who walks wisely will be delivered.

Pr 28:27 He who gives to the poor man will not lack, / But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.

Pr 28:28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; / But when they perish, the righteous increase.
