Proverbs:28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The wicked flee when no man pursueth :
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 oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth 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 walketh in his uprightness ,
than he that is perverse in his ways ,
though he be rich .
*
Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son :
but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father .
*
He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance ,
he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor .
*
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law ,
even his prayer shall be abomination tow #

*
Whoso causeth 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 hath understanding searcheth him out .
*
When righteous men do rejoice ,
there is great glory tiph #

but when the wicked rise ,
a man is hidden .
*
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper :
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy .
*
Happy is the man that feareth alway :
but he that hardeneth 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 wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor ma #

but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days .
*
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit ;
let no man stay him .
*
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved :
but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once .
*
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread :
but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough .
*
A faithful man shall abound with blessings :
but he that maketh 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 hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye ,
and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him .
*
He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue .
*
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother ,
and saith ,
It is no transgression ;
the same is the companion of a destroyer #

*
He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife :
but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat .
*
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool :
but whoso walketh wisely ,
he shall be delivered .
*
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack :
but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse .
*
When the wicked rise ,
men hide themselves :
but when they perish ,
the righteous increase .
