Proverbs 28:1-28

28:1
The wicked
<07563>
flee
<05127> (8804)
when no man pursueth
<07291> (8802)_:
but the righteous
<06662>
are bold
<0982> (8799)
as a lion
<03715>_.
28:2
For the transgression
<06588>
of a land
<0776>
many
<07227>
[are] the princes
<08269>
thereof: but by a man
<0120>
of understanding
<0995> (8688)
[and] knowledge
<03045> (8802)
the state
<03651>
[thereof] shall be prolonged
<0748> (8686)_.
{by...: or, by men of understanding and wisdom shall they likewise be prolonged}
28:3
A poor
<07326> (8802)
man
<01397>
that oppresseth
<06231> (8802)
the poor
<01800>
[is like] a sweeping
<05502> (8802)
rain
<04306>
which leaveth no food
<03899>_.
{which...: Heb. without food}
28:4
They that forsake
<05800> (8802)
the law
<08451>
praise
<01984> (8762)
the wicked
<07563>_:
but such as keep
<08104> (8802)
the law
<08451>
contend
<01624> (8691)
with them.
28:5
Evil
<07451>
men
<0582>
understand
<0995> (8799)
not judgment
<04941>_:
but they that seek
<01245> (8764)
the LORD
<03068>
understand
<0995> (8799)
all [things].
28:6
Better
<02896>
[is] the poor
<07326> (8802)
that walketh
<01980> (8802)
in his uprightness
<08537>_,
than [he that is] perverse
<06141>
[in his] ways
<01870>_,
though he [be] rich
<06223>_.
28:7
Whoso keepeth
<05341> (8802)
the law
<08451>
[is] a wise
<0995> (8688)
son
<01121>_:
but he that is a companion
<07462> (8802)
of riotous
<02151> (8802)
[men] shameth
<03637> (8686)
his father
<01>_.
{is a companion...: or, feedeth gluttons}
28:8
He that by usury
<05392>
and unjust gain
<08636>
increaseth
<07235> (8688)
his substance
<01952>_,
he shall gather
<06908> (8762)
it for him that will pity
<02603> (8802)
the poor
<01800>_.
{unjust...: Heb. by increase}
28:9
He that turneth away
<05493> (8688)
his ear
<0241>
from hearing
<08085> (8800)
the law
<08451>_,
even his prayer
<08605>
[shall be] abomination
<08441>_.
28:10
Whoso causeth the righteous
<03477>
to go astray
<07686> (8688)
in an evil
<07451>
way
<01870>_,
he shall fall
<05307> (8799)
himself into his own pit
<07816>_:
but the upright
<08549>
shall have good
<02896>
[things] in possession
<05157> (8799)_.
28:11
The rich
<06223>
man
<0376>
[is] wise
<02450>
in his own conceit
<05869>_;
but the poor
<01800>
that hath understanding
<0995> (8688)
searcheth him out
<02713> (8799)_.
{own...: Heb. eyes}
28:12
When righteous
<06662>
[men] do rejoice
<05970> (8800)_,
[there is] great
<07227>
glory
<08597>_:
but when the wicked
<07563>
rise
<06965> (8800)_,
a man
<0120>
is hidden
<02664> (8792)_.
{hidden: or, sought for}
28:13
He that covereth
<03680> (8764)
his sins
<06588>
shall not prosper
<06743> (8686)_:
but whoso confesseth
<03034> (8688)
and forsaketh
<05800> (8802)
[them] shall have mercy
<07355> (8792)_.
28:14
Happy
<0835>
[is] the man
<0120>
that feareth
<06342> (8764)
alway
<08548>_:
but he that hardeneth
<07185> (8688)
his heart
<03820>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into mischief
<07451>_.
28:15
[As] a roaring
<05098> (8802)
lion
<0738>_,
and a ranging
<08264> (8802)
bear
<01677>_;
[so is] a wicked
<07563>
ruler
<04910> (8802)
over the poor
<01800>
people
<05971>_.
28:16
The prince
<05057>
that wanteth
<02638>
understanding
<08394>
[is] also a great
<07227>
oppressor
<04642>_:
[but] he that hateth
<08130> (8802)
covetousness
<01215>
shall prolong
<0748> (8686)
[his] days
<03117>_.
28:17
A man
<0120>
that doeth violence
<06231> (8803)
to the blood
<01818>
of [any] person
<05315>
shall flee
<05127> (8799)
to the pit
<0953>_;
let no man stay
<08551> (8799)
him.
28:18
Whoso walketh
<01980> (8802)
uprightly
<08549>
shall be saved
<03467> (8735)_:
but [he that is] perverse
<06140> (8737)
[in his] ways
<01870>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
at once
<0259>_.
28:19
He that tilleth
<05647> (8802)
his land
<0127>
shall have plenty
<07646> (8799)
of bread
<03899>_:
but he that followeth
<07291> (8764)
after vain
<07386>
[persons] shall have poverty enough
<07389>_.
28:20
A faithful
<0530>
man
<0376>
shall abound
<07227>
with blessings
<01293>_:
but he that maketh haste
<0213> (8801)
to be rich
<06238> (8687)
shall not be innocent
<05352> (8735)_.
{innocent: or, unpunished}
28:21
To have respect
<05234> (8687)
of persons
<06440>
[is] not good
<02896>_:
for for a piece
<06595>
of bread
<03899>
[that] man
<01397>
will transgress
<06586> (8799)_.
28:22
He
<0376>
that hasteth
<0926> (8737)
to be rich
<01952>
[hath] an evil
<07451>
eye
<05869>_,
and considereth
<03045> (8799)
not that poverty
<02639>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon him. {hasteth...: or, hath and evil eye hasteth to be rich}
28:23
He that rebuketh
<03198> (8688)
a man
<0120>
afterwards
<0310>
shall find
<04672> (8799)
more favour
<02580>
than he that flattereth
<02505> (8688)
with the tongue
<03956>_.
28:24
Whoso robbeth
<01497> (8802)
his father
<01>
or his mother
<0517>_,
and saith
<0559> (8802)_,
[It is] no transgression
<06588>_;
the same [is] the companion
<02270>
of a destroyer
<0376> <07843> (8688)_.
{a destroyer: Heb. a man destroying}
28:25
He that is of a proud
<07342>
heart
<05315>
stirreth up
<01624> (8762)
strife
<04066>_:
but he that putteth his trust
<0982> (8802)
in the LORD
<03068>
shall be made fat
<01878> (8792)_.
28:26
He that trusteth
<0982> (8802)
in his own heart
<03820>
is a fool
<03684>_:
but whoso walketh
<01980> (8802)
wisely
<02451>_,
he shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_.
28:27
He that giveth
<05414> (8802)
unto the poor
<07326> (8802)
shall not lack
<04270>_:
but he that hideth
<05956> (8688)
his eyes
<05869>
shall have many
<07227>
a curse
<03994>_.
28:28
When the wicked
<07563>
rise
<06965> (8800)_,
men
<0120>
hide
<05641> (8735)
themselves: but when they perish
<06> (8800)_,
the righteous
<06662>
increase
<07235> (8799)_.
