ULT PRO Chapter 28

◄ PRO 28 ► ║ ©

28 The wicked flee and there is no pursuer,

but the righteous ones are confident like 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 ones

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

4 Those who forsake the law praise a wicked one,

but those who keep 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 who increases his wealth by interest and usury

gathers it for one who shows favor to lowly ones.

9 One who turns away his ear from hearing the law,

even his prayer is an abomination.

10 One who leads upright ones astray in the way of evil

into his pit he himself will fall,

but blameless ones will inherit good.

11 A rich man is wise in his eyes,

but a lowly one who understands will search him out.

12 When righteous ones exult, there is great splendor,

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

13 One who covers his transgressions will not prosper,

but one who confesses and forsakes will be shown mercy.

14 Happy is a man who is in terror continually,

but one who hardens 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 who hates 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 who walks blameless will be saved,

but one who is crooked of ways will fall in one.

19 One who works his ground will be satisfied with bread,

but one who pursues empty things will be satisfied with poverty.

20 A man of faithfulness has an abundance of blessings,

but one who hurries 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 who hurries to the wealth is a man of an evil eye,

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

23 One who rebukes a man afterward will find favor

more than one who makes the tongue smooth.

24 One who robs 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 who trusts in his heart, he is a stupid one,

but one who walks in wisdom, he himself will flee.

27 One who gives to the one who is poor has no lack,

but one who hides his eyes has an abundance of curses.

28 When wicked ones arise a man will hide himself,

but when they perish righteous ones will increase.
