Proverbs:28

Seeker Overlay ON

* The wicked flee when no one pursueth ; But the righteous is as bold as a lion . * Through the transgression of a land many are its rulers ; But through men of prudence and understanding the prince shall live long . * A poor man who oppresseth the needy Is a sweeping rain which leaveth no food . * They who forsake the law praise the wicked ; But they who keep the law contend with them . * Wicked men understand not equity ; But they who seek the LORD understand all things . * Better is a poor man who walketh in uprightness , Than he who is perverse in his ways , though he be rich . * He that keepeth the law is a wise son ; But he that is the companion of prodigals bringeth shame on his father . * He that increaseth his substance by usurious gain Gathereth it for him who will pity the poor . * He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law , Even his prayer shall be an abomination . * He that causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way Shall himself fall into his own pit ; But the upright shall have good things in possession . * The rich man is wise in his own conceit ; But the poor man , who hath understanding , will search him through . * When the righteous rejoice , there is great glorying ; But , when the wicked are exalted , men hide themselves . * He that covereth his sins shall not prosper ; But he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy . * Happy the man who feareth always ! But he who hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief . * As a roaring lion and a hungry bear , So is a wicked ruler over a needy people . * The prince who is weak in understanding is great in oppression ; But he who hateth unjust gain shall prolong his days . * A man who is burdened with life –blood ––Let him flee to the pit ! let no man stay him ! * He who walketh uprightly shall be safe ; But he who is perverse in his ways shall fall at once . * He who tilleth his land shall have bread enough ; And he that followeth after worthless persons shall have poverty enough . * A faithful man shall abound with blessings ; But he that maketh haste to be rich shall not go unpunished . * To have respect to persons is not good ; Since for a piece of bread that man will transgress . * He who hath an evil eye hasteth after wealth , And considereth not that poverty will come upon him . * He who rebuketh a man shall afterwards find favor More than he who flattereth with his tongue . * Whoso stealeth from his father or his mother , And saith , "It is no transgression ," The same is the companion of a robber . * He who is of a proud heart stirreth up strife ; But he that trusteth in the LORD shall be rich . * He who trusteth in his own understanding is a fool ; But he who walketh wisely shall be delivered . * He who giveth to the poor shall not want ; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse . * When the wicked are exalted , men hide themselves ; But , when they perish , the righteous increase .
