Proverbs:28

* The wicked flee when no one pursues , but the righteous are bold as a lion . * Because of the transgression of a land , many are its rulers ; but a reign is prolonged by a man of discernment and knowledge . * A poor man who oppresses the lowly is like a sweeping rain which 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 Jehovah understand all things . * Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways , though he be rich . * Whoever keeps the Law is an understanding son , but a companion of gluttons shames his father . * He who increases his wealth by interest and usury , gathers it for him who will pity the poor . * He who turns away his ear from hearing the Law , even his prayer is an abomination . * Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way , he himself shall fall into his own pit ; but the one who is perfect shall possess the good . * The rich man is wise in his own eyes ; but the poor who has understanding searches him out . * When the righteous rejoice , there is great glory ; but when the wicked arise , men hide themselves . * He who covers his sins shall not prosper ; but he who confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy . * Blessed is the man who is continually in awe , but he who hardens his heart shall fall into evil . * Like a roaring lion and a ranging bear , so is a wicked ruler over the lowly people . * A ruler lacking understanding is abundant in extortions ; he who hates unjust gain shall prolong his days . * A man who is oppressed with the blood of a soul shall flee to the pit ; let no one support him . * Whoever walks in integrity shall be delivered ; but he who is perverse in his ways shall fall at once . * He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread , but he who pursues vanities shall have poverty enough . * A faithful man shall abound with blessings , but he who makes haste to be rich shall not be found innocent . * To show partiality is not good ; because , for a piece of bread a man will transgress . * He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye , and does not recognize that poverty will come upon him . * He who rebukes a man shall afterwards find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue . * He who robs his father or his mother and says , It is no transgression , is a companion to a man who destroys . * He who is of a proud soul stirs up strife ; but he who puts his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat . * He who trusts in his own heart is a fool , but whoever walks wisely shall be delivered . * He who gives to the poor shall not lack , but he who hides his eyes shall have many a curse . * When the wicked arise , men hide themselves ; but when they perish , the righteous increase .
