chapter 28
1
The
wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be
without dread.
2 For the sine of the land many are the princes
thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that
are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a
violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
4 They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man:
they that keep it, are incensed against him.
5 Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek
after the Lord, take notice of all things.
6 Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity,
than the rich in crooked ways.
7 He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that
feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
8 He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan,
gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
9 He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law,
his prayer shall be as abomination.
10 He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall
fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
11 The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor
man that is prudent shall search him out.
12 In the joy of the just there is great glory: when
the wicked reign, men are ruined.
13 He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he
that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
14 Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he
that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
15 As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked
prince over the poor people.
16 A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by
calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doth violence to the blood of a person,
if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
18 He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that
is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with
bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
20 A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that
maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
21 He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth
not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
22 A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth
others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour
with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
24 He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from
his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
25 He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth
up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he
that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
27 He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that
despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
28 When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves:
when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
