28 The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the 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 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 understand not judgment, but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walketh in his 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 riotous men shameth his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way shall himself fall into his own pit, but the upright shall possess good things.
11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the poor man that hath understanding searcheth him out.
12 When righteous men rejoice, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
14 Happy is the man that feareth God always, but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.
15 As a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor, but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 Whoso 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 haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To have respect of persons is not good, for that man will transgress for a piece of bread.
22 He that hasteneth to be rich hath an evil eye and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterwards find more favor than he that flattereth with his 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 proud heart stirreth up strife, but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall prosper.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool, but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack, but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.
28 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 brea...

28 A wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth; but a just man as a lion trusting shall be without fearedfulness.
