Proverbs Chapter 28
|
|||
|
|
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
|
|||
|
|
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
|
|||
|
|
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
|
|||
|
|
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
|
|||
|
|
5 Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.
|
|||
|
|
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
|
|||
|
|
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
|
|||
|
|
8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
|
|||
|
|
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
|
|||
|
|
10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
|
|||
|
|
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
|
|||
|
|
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
|
|||
|
|
13 He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
|
|||
|
|
14 Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
|
|||
|
|
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
|
|||
|
|
16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
|
|||
|
|
17 A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
|
|||
|
|
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
|
|||
|
|
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
|
|||
|
|
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
|
|||
|
|
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
|
|||
|
|
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
|
|||
|
|
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
|
|||
|
|
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
|
|||
|
|
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
|
|||
|
|
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
|
|||
|
|
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
|
|||
|
|
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
