Moff PROV Chapter 28

PROV 28 ©

28

Rascals will run away, no though none pursues them:

good men are as bold as lions.

2

Many a mishap crime brings on a country:

good order is maintained by honest men.

3

A tyrant oppressing the poo

is like a deluge that leaves no food behind.

4

Apostates praise pagans;

the faithful oppose them.

5

Bad men know nothing of religion;

devout men understand it all.

6

Better a poor man of honest lif

than a false creature, for all his wealth.

7

A sensible son obeys orders,

but a friend of dissolute men is a disgrace to his father.

8

He who adds to his income by taking interest

will lose his money to some charitable soul.

9

If a man is deaf to the orders of religion,

his very prayer is loathsome to the Eternal.

10

He who beguiles the upright into evil

shall fall into the very pit he digged;

but the blameless shall prosper.

11

Rich men may think that they are wise,

but the poor have wit to see through them.

12

When good men win, it is a splendid thing;

when bad men rise to power, the people hide.

13

He who covers up his sins shall never prosper;

he who confesses and forsakes them is forgiven.

14

Happy the man who lives in fear of sin:

reckless men come to grief.

15

A roaring lion, a bear on the prowl--

such is a tyrant over a poor people.

16

A cruel oppressor is a fool:

he thrives who scorns all unjust gain.

17

[[A homicide must hide wherever he can: let no one shelter him.]]

18

A man of blameless life is safe:

pitfalls bring down the man of crooked courses.

19

The man who works his farm has plenty food

a man of useless interests will have plenty--poverty!

20

Trustworthy men are richly blessed:

men in a hurry to get rich incur guilt.

21

To favour one side is not fair-

to sin, bribed by a bit of bread!

22

The selfish man is eager to get rich;

he never dreams he may be in distress.

23

In the long run, a man who will reprove

gets more thanks than a flatterer.

24

Whoever robs his father or his mother,

and says, “There is no harm in it!”

he is no better than a waster.

25

A grasping nature stirs up enmity,

but he who trusts in the Eternal thrives.

26

He who trusts in himself is but a fool:

he who lives wisely is secure.

27

A man who helps the poor will never want;

he who ignores them will get many a curse.

28

When bad men rise to power, the people hide

when they fall, good men come forward.
