Proverbs:28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The wicked flee when no man pursues :
but the righteous are bold as a lion .
*
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof :
but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged .
*
A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which left no food .
*
They that forsake the law praise the wicked :
but such as keep the law contend with them .
*
Evil men understand not judgment :
but they that seek the LORD understand all things .
*
Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness ,
than he that is perverse in his ways ,
though he be rich .
*
Whoso keeps the law is a wise son :
but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father .
*
He that by interest and unjust gain increases his substance ,
he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor .
*
He that turns away his ear from hearing the law ,
even his prayer shall be abomination .
*
Whoso causes 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 .
*
The rich man is wise in his own conceit ;
but the poor that has understanding searches him out .
*
When righteous men do rejoice ,
there is great glory :
but when the wicked rise ,
a man is hidden .
*
He that covers his sins shall not prosper :
but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy .
*
Happy is the man that fears always :
but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief .
*
As a roaring lion ,
and a ranging bear ;
so is a wicked ruler over the poor people .
*
The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor :
but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days .
*
A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit ;
let no man stay him .
*
Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved :
but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once .
*
He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread :
but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough .
*
A faithful man shall abound with blessings :
but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent .
*
To have respect of persons is not good :
for for a piece of bread that man will transgress .
*
He that hastes to be rich has an evil eye ,
and considers not that poverty shall come upon him .
*
He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue .
*
Whoso robs his father or his mother ,
and says ,
It is no transgression ;
the same is the companion of a destroyer .
*
He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife :
but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat .
*
He that trusts in his own heart is a fool :
but whoso walks wisely ,
he shall be delivered .
*
He that gives unto the poor shall not lack :
but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse .
*
When the wicked rise ,
men hide themselves :
but when they perish ,
the righteous increase .
