Proverbes 28

1The wicked^H7563 flee^H5127 when no man pursueth^H7291; But the righteous^H6662 are bold^H982 as a lion^H3715. 2For the transgression^H6588 of a land^H776 many^H7227 are the princes^H8269 thereof; But by men^H120 of understanding^H995 and knowledge^H3045 the state^H3651 thereof shall be prolonged^H748. 3A needy^H7326 man^H1397 that oppresseth^H6231 the poor^H1800 Is like a sweeping^H5502 rain^H4306 which leaveth no food^H3899. 4They that forsake^H5800 the law^H8451 praise^H1984 the wicked^H7563; But such as keep^H8104 the law^H8451 contend^H1624 with them. 5Evil^H7451 men^H582 understand^H995 not justice^H4941; But they that seek^H1245 Jehovah^H3068 understand^H995 all things. 6Better^H2896 is the poor^H7326 that walketh^H1980 in his integrity^H8537, Than he that is perverse^H6141 in his ways^H1870, though he be rich^H6223. 7Whoso keepeth^H5341 the law^H8451 is a wise^H995 son^H1121; But he that is a companion^H7462 of gluttons^H2151 shameth^H3637 his father^H1. 8He that augmenteth^H7235 his substance^H1952 by interest^H5392 and increase^H8636, Gathereth^H6908 it for him that hath pity^H2603 on the poor^H1800. 9He that turneth away^H5493 his ear^H241 from hearing^H8085 the law^H8451, Even his prayer^H8605 is an abomination^H8441. 10Whoso causeth the upright^H3477 to go astray^H7686 in an evil^H7451 way^H1870, He shall fall^H5307 himself into his own pit^H7816; But the perfect^H8549 shall inherit^H5157 good^H2896. 11The rich^H6223 man^H376 is wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869; But the poor^H1800 that hath understanding^H995 searcheth him out^H2713. 12When the righteous^H6662 triumph^H5970, there is great^H7227 glory^H8597; But when the wicked^H7563 rise^H6965, men^H120 hide^H2664 themselves. 13He that covereth^H3680 his transgressions^H6588 shall not prosper^H6743: But whoso confesseth^H3034 and forsaketh^H5800 them shall obtain mercy^H7355. 14Happy^H835 is the man^H120 that feareth^H6342 alway^H8548; But he that hardeneth^H7185 his heart^H3820 shall fall^H5307 into mischief^H7451. 15 As a roaring^H5098 lion^H738, and a ranging^H8264 bear^H1677, So is a wicked^H7563 ruler^H4910 over a poor^H1800 people^H5971. 16The prince^H5057 that lacketh^H2638 understanding^H8394 is also a great^H7227 oppressor^H4642; But he that hateth^H8130 covetousness^H1215 shall prolong^H748 his days^H3117. 17A man^H120 that is laden^H6231 with the blood^H1818 of any person^H5315 Shall flee^H5127 unto the pit^H953; Let no man stay^H8551 him. 18Whoso walketh^H1980 uprightly^H8549 shall be delivered^H3467; But he that is perverse^H6140 in his ways^H1870 shall fall^H5307 at once^H259. 19He that tilleth^H5647 his land^H127 shall have plenty^H7646 of bread^H3899; But he that followeth^H7291 after vain^H7386 persons shall have poverty enough^H7389. 20A faithful^H530 man^H376 shall abound^H7227 with blessings^H1293; But he that maketh haste^H213 to be rich^H6238 shall not be unpunished^H5352. 21To have respect^H5234 of persons^H6440 is not good^H2896; Neither that a man^H1397 should transgress^H6586 for a piece^H6595 of bread^H3899. 22he^H376 that hath an evil^H7451 eye^H5869 hasteth^H926 after riches^H1952, And knoweth^H3045 not that want^H2639 shall come^H935 upon him. 23He that rebuketh^H3198 a man^H120 shall afterward^H310 find^H4672 more favor^H2580 Than he that flattereth^H2505 with the tongue^H3956. 24Whoso robbeth^H1497 his father^H1 or his mother^H517, and saith^H559, It is no transgression^H6588, The same is the companion^H2270 of a destroyer^H376. 25He that is of a greedy^H7342 spirit^H5315 stirreth up^H1624 strife^H4066; But he that putteth his trust^H982 in Jehovah^H3068 shall be made fat^H1878. 26He that trusteth^H982 in his own heart^H3820 is a fool^H3684; But whoso walketh^H1980 wisely^H2451, he shall be delivered^H4422. 27He that giveth^H5414 unto the poor^H7326 shall not lack^H4270; But he that hideth^H5956 his eyes^H5869 shall have many^H7227 a curse^H3994. 28When the wicked^H7563 rise^H6965, men^H120 hide^H5641 themselves; But when they perish^H6, the righteous^H6662 increase^H7235.
