# ***PROVERBS 28***

---

\[1\] The wicked flee when no one pursues,

but the righteous are bold as a lion.

\[2\] When a land transgresses, it has many rulers,

but with a man of understanding and knowledge,

its stability will long continue.

\[3\] A poor man who oppresses the poor

is a beating rain that leaves no food.

\[4\] Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,

but those who keep the law strive against them.

\[5\] Evil men do not understand justice,

but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.

\[6\] Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity

than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.

\[7\] The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,

but a companion of gluttons shames his father.

\[8\] Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit

gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.

\[9\] If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,

even his prayer is an abomination.

\[10\] Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way

will fall into his own pit,

but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.

\[11\] A rich man is wise in his own eyes,

but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.

\[12\] When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,

but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

\[13\] Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper,

but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

\[14\] Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always,

but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

\[15\] Like a roaring lion or a charging bear

is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

\[16\] A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,

but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

\[17\] If one is burdened with the blood of another,

he will be a fugitive until death;

let no one help him.

\[18\] Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered,

but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

\[19\] Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,

but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

\[20\] A faithful man will abound with blessings,

but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.

\[21\] To show partiality is not good,

but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.

\[22\] A stingy man hastens after wealth

and does not know that poverty will come upon him.

\[23\] Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor

than he who flatters with his tongue.

\[24\] Whoever robs his father or his mother

and says, “That is no transgression,”

is a companion to a man who destroys.

\[25\] A greedy man stirs up strife,

but the one who trusts in the LORD will be enriched.

\[26\] Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool,

but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

\[27\] Whoever gives to the poor will not want,

but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.

\[28\] When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,

but when they perish, the righteous increase. (ESV)
