- The
wicked flee when no man pursueth: 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 oppresseth the poor is
like a sweeping rain which leaveth 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 walketh in his
uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be
rich.

he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
- 28:8

increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity
the poor.
- 28:9
- He that turneth away his ear from hearing
the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
- 28:10
- Whoso causeth 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 hath understanding searcheth him out.
- 28:12
- When righteous men do rejoice, there is
great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
- 28:13

prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
- 28:14
- Happy is the man that feareth alway: but
he that hardeneth 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 wanteth understanding is
also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall
prolong his days.
- 28:17
- A man that doeth violence to the blood of
any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
- 28:18
- Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved:
but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
- 28:19

plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have
poverty enough.
- 28:20
- A faithful man shall abound with
blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be
innocent.
- 28:21

for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
- 28:22
- He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil
eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
- 28:23
- He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall
find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a
destroyer.
- 28:25
- He that is of a proud heart stirreth up
strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
- 28:26
- He that trusteth in his own heart is a
fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
- 28:27
- He that giveth unto the poor shall not
lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
- 28:28
- When the wicked rise, men hide
themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
