Prov | ABP | 28:25 | An insatiable man judges in vain; but the one yielding upon the lord [2in 3care 1will be]. | |
Prov | ABP | 28:26 | The one who yields to a rash heart, such a one is a fool; but the one who goes in wisdom shall be delivered. | |
Prov | ABP | 28:27 | The one who gives to the poor shall not be in want; but the one who turns his eye [2in 3much 4perplexity 1will be]. | |
