UKJV - Proverbs - 28

28:1  The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

28:2  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.

28:3  A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which left no food.

28:4  They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

28:5  Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

28:6  Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

28:7  Whoso keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.

28:8  He that by interest and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

28:9  He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

28:10  Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

28:11  The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.

28:12  When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

28:13  He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.

28:14  Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.

28:15  As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

28:16  The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.

28:17  A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

28:18  Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

28:19  He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

28:20  A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

28:21  To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

28:22  He that hastes to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.

28:23  He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.

28:24  Whoso robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

28:25  He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

28:26  He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

28:27  He that gives unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.

28:28  When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
