# Chapter 28
|
|
1. The wicked flee when no one pursues,
|
|
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
|
|
|
|
2. Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
|
|
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
|
|
Right will be prolonged.
|
|
|
|
3. A poor man who oppresses the poor
|
|
Is like a driving rain which leaves no food.
|
|
|
|
4. Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
|
|
But such as keep the law contend with them.
|
|
|
|
5. Evil men do not understand justice,
|
|
But those who seek the Lord understand all.
|
|
|
|
6. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
|
|
Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
|
|
|
|
7. Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son,
|
|
But a companion of gluttons shames his father.
|
|
|
|
8. One who increases his possessions by usury and extortion
|
|
Gathers it for him who will pity the poor.
|
|
|
|
9. One 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 himself will fall into his own pit;
|
|
But the blameless will inherit good.
|
|
|
|
11. The rich man is wise in his own eyes,
|
|
But the poor who has understanding searches him out.
|
|
|
|
12. When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory;
|
|
But when the wicked arise, men hide themselves.
|
|
|
|
13. He who covers his sins will not prosper,
|
|
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
|
|
|
|
14. Happy is the man who is always reverent,
|
|
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
|
|
|
|
15. Like a roaring lion and a charging bear
|
|
Is a wicked ruler over poor people.
|
|
|
|
16. A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor,
|
|
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
|
|
|
|
17. A man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
|
|
Let no one help him.
|
|
|
|
18. Whoever walks blamelessly will be saved,
|
|
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
|
|
|
|
19. He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
|
|
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!
|
|
|
|
20. A faithful man will abound with blessings,
|
|
But he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
|
|
|
|
21. To show partiality is not good,
|
|
Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.
|
|
|
|
22. A man with an evil eye hastens after riches,
|
|
And does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
|
|
|
|
23. He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward
|
|
Than he who flatters with the tongue.
|
|
|
|
24. Whoever robs his father or his mother,
|
|
And says, "It is no transgression,"
|
|
The same is companion to a destroyer.
|
|
|
|
25. He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,
|
|
But he who trusts in the Lord will be prospered.
|
|
|
|
26. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
|
|
But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
|
|
|
|
27. He who gives to the poor will not lack,
|
|
But he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
|
|
|
|
28. When the wicked arise, men hide themselves;
|
|
But when they perish, the righteous increase.
