    Proverbs 28
    • 1   The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident.
    • 2   By the transgression of a land many are its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right--it is prolonged.
    • 3   A man--poor and oppressing the weak, Is a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.
    • 4   Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.
    • 5   Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.
    • 6   Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse of ways who is rich.
    • 7   Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush.
    • 8   Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For one favouring the poor doth gather it.
    • 9   Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
    • 10   Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good.
    • 11   A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him.
    • 12   In the exulting of the righteous the glory is abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive.
    • 13   Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy.
    • 14   O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil.
    • 15   A growling lion, and a ranging bear, Is the wicked ruler over a poor people.
    • 16   A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions, Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth days.
    • 17   A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him.
    • 18   Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once.
    • 19   Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied with bread, And whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled with poverty.
    • 20   A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is hasting to be rich is not acquitted.
    • 21   To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread doth a man transgress.
    • 22   Troubled for wealth is the man with an evil eye, And he knoweth not that want doth meet him.
    • 23   Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More than a flatterer with the tongue.
    • 24   Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying, `It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer.
    • 25   Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso is trusting on Jehovah is made fat.
    • 26   Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is delivered.
    • 27   Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is hiding his eyes multiplied curses.
    • 28   In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their destruction the righteous multiply!
