Proverbs 28
The
wicked
a
flee
when
no
man
pursueth:
but
the
b
righteous
are
bold
as
a
lion.
2 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.
3 A
poor
man
that
a
oppresseth
the
poor
is
like
a
sweeping
rain
which
leaveth
no
food.
4 They
that
forsake
the
law
praise
the
wicked:
but
such
as
keep
the
law
contend
with
them.
5 Evil
men
a
understand
not
judgment:
but
they
that
seek
the
Lord
understand
all
things.
6 Better
is
the
poor
that
walketh
in
his
a
uprightness,
than
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways,
though
he
be
rich.
7 Whoso
keepeth
the
law
is
a
wise
son:
but
he
that
is
a
companion
of
a
riotous
men
b
shameth
his
father.
8 He
that
by
a
usury
and
unjust
gain
b
increaseth
his
substance,
he
shall
gather
it
for
him
that
will
pity
the
poor.
9 He
that
turneth
away
his
ear
from
hearing
the
a
law,
even
his
b
prayer
shall
be
abomination.
10 Whoso
causeth
the
righteous
to
go
astray
in
an
evil
way,
he
shall
a
fall
himself
into
his
own
b
pit:
but
the
upright
shall
have
good
c
things
in
possession.
11 The
rich
man
is
wise
in
his
own
conceit;
but
the
a
poor
that
hath
understanding
searcheth
him
out.
12 When
a
righteous
men
do
rejoice,
there
is
great
glory:
but
when
the
wicked
rise,
a
man
is
hidden.
13 He
that
a
covereth
his
sins
shall
not
prosper:
but
whoso
b
confesseth
and
c
forsaketh
them
shall
have
mercy.
14 Happy
is
the
man
that
a
feareth
alway:
but
he
that
b
hardeneth
his
heart
shall
fall
into
mischief.
15 As
a
a
roaring
lion,
and
a
ranging
bear;
so
is
a
wicked
ruler
over
the
poor
people.
16 The
prince
that
wanteth
understanding
is
also
a
great
oppressor:
but
he
that
hateth
a
covetousness
shall
prolong
his
days.
17 A
man
that
doeth
violence
to
the
a
blood
of
any
person
shall
b
flee
to
the
pit;
let
no
man
stay
him.
18 Whoso
a
walketh
uprightly
shall
be
saved:
but
he
that
is
perverse
in
his
ways
shall
fall
at
once.
19 He
that
tilleth
his
land
shall
have
plenty
of
bread:
but
he
that
followeth
after
vain
persons
shall
have
poverty
enough.
20 A
faithful
man
shall
abound
with
blessings:
but
he
that
maketh
a
haste
to
be
b
rich
shall
not
be
innocent.
21 To
have
a
respect
of
persons
is
not
good:
for
for
a
b
piece
of
c
bread
that
man
will
transgress.
22 He
that
hasteth
to
be
rich
hath
an
evil
eye,
and
considereth
not
that
poverty
shall
come
upon
him.
23 He
that
a
rebuketh
a
man
afterwards
shall
find
more
favour
than
he
that
b
flattereth
with
the
tongue.
24 Whoso
robbeth
his
father
or
his
mother,
and
saith,
It
is
no
transgression;
the
same
is
the
companion
of
a
destroyer.
25 He
that
is
of
a
a
proud
heart
stirreth
up
b
strife:
but
he
that
putteth
his
c
trust
in
the
Lord
shall
be
d
made
fat.
26 He
that
a
trusteth
in
his
own
heart
is
a
fool:
but
whoso
walketh
wisely,
he
shall
be
delivered.
27 He
that
giveth
unto
the
a
poor
shall
not
lack:
but
he
that
hideth
his
eyes
shall
have
many
a
curse.
28 When
the
a
wicked
rise,
men
hide
themselves:
but
when
they
perish,
the
righteous
increase.
