Proverbs:28

* The wicked flee when no one pursues , but the righteous are bold as a lion . * When a land transgresses it has many rulers ; but with men of understanding and knowledge its stability will long continue . * A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food . * Those who forsake the law praise the wicked , but those who keep the law strive against them . * Evil men do not understand justice , but those who seek the LORD understand it completely . * Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his ways . * He who keeps the law is a wise son , but a companion of gluttons shames his father . * He who augments his wealth by interest and increase gathers it for him who is kind to the poor . * If one turns away his ear from hearing the law , even his prayer is an abomination . * He who misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit ; but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance . * A rich man is wise in his own eyes , but a poor man who has understanding will find him out . * When the righteous triumph , there is great glory ; but when the wicked rise , men hide themselves . * He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper , but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy . * Blessed is the man who fears the LORD always ; but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity . * Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people . * A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor ; but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days . * If a man is burdened with the blood of another , let him be a fugitive until death ; let no one help him . * He who walks in integrity will be delivered , but he who is perverse in his ways will fall into a pit . * He who tills his land will have plenty of bread , but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty . * A faithful man will abound with blessings , but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished . * To show partiality is not good ; but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong . * A miserly man hastens after wealth , and does not know that want will come upon him . * He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue . * He who robs his father or his mother and says , "That is no transgression ," is the companion of a man who destroys . * A greedy man stirs up strife , but he who trusts in the LORD will be enriched . * He who trusts in his own mind is a fool ; but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered . * He who gives to the poor will not want , but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse . * When the wicked rise , men hide themselves , but when they perish , the righteous increase .
