nkjv Proverbs:28:11-26 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 will not prosper ,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy .
*
Happy is the man who is always reverent ,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity .
*
Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over poor people .
*
A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor ,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days .
*
A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit ;
Let no one help him .
*
Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved ,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall .
*
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread ,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough !
*
A faithful man will abound with blessings ,
But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished .
*
To show partiality is not good ,
Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress .
*
A man with an evil eye hastens after riches ,
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him .
*
He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward Than he who flatters with the tongue .
*
Whoever robs his father or his mother ,
And says , "
It is no transgression ,"
The same is companion to a destroyer .
*
He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife ,
But he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered .
*
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool ,
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered .
