◄ PROV 28 ► ║ ═ ©

28 The wicked flee and there is no pursuer,

but the righteous are as confident as a young lion.

2 By the transgression of a land many are its rulers,

but by a man who understands, who knows, so it will endure.

3 A man who is poor and who oppresses the lowly

is a rain that washes away, and there is no bread.

4 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked,

but those keeping the law strive against them.

5 Men of evil do not understand justice,

but seekers of Yahweh understand everything.

6 Better is one who is poor who walks in his integrity

than one crooked of ways, yet he is rich.

7 One who guards the law is a son who understands,

but one who associates with gluttonous eaters humiliates his father.

8 One increasing his wealth by interest and usury

gathers it for one showing favor to the lowly.

9 One turning away his ear from hearing the law,

even his prayer is an abomination.

10 One leading the upright astray in the way of evil

into his pit he himself will fall,

but the blameless will inherit good.

11 A rich man is wise in his eyes,

but a discerning lowly one will search him out.

12 When the righteous exult, there is great splendor,

but when the wicked arise, a man is searched for.

13 One covering his transgressions will not prosper,

but one confessing and forsaking will be shown mercy.

14 Happy is a man fearing continually,

but one hardening his heart will fall into evil.

15 A lion growling and a bear charging

is a wicked ruler over a lowly people.

16 A leader lacking of understanding is also abundant of oppressions;

one hating unjust gain will lengthen days.

17 A man oppressed by the blood of a life

will flee as far as a pit;

let them not support him.

18 One walking blameless will be saved,

but one crooked of ways will fall into one.

19 One working his ground will be satisfied with bread,

but one pursuing empty things will be satisfied with poverty.

20 A man of faithfulness has an abundance of blessings,

but one hurrying to become rich will not remain blameless.

21 Recognizing faces is not good,

yet for a bit of bread a man will transgress.

22 One hurrying to the wealth is a man of an evil eye,

but he does not know that lack will come to him.

23 One rebuking a man, afterward will find favor

more than one making the tongue smooth.

24 One robbing his father and his mother and says, “There is no transgression,”

he is the companion of a man of destruction.

25 One wide of appetite stirs up strife,

but one who trusts in Yahweh will be fattened.

26 One trusting in his heart, he is a stupid one,

but one walking in wisdom, he himself will flee.

27 One giving to the one who is poor—there is no lack,

but one hiding his eyes—an abundance of curses.

28 When wicked ones arise, a man will hide himself,

but when they perish, righteous ones will increase.
