Proverbs 28 — GMV
28
The ungodly man flees when no one pursues:
2
By reason of the sins of ungodly men quarrels arise;
3
A bold man oppresses the poor by ungodly deeds.
4
So they that forsake the law praise ungodliness;
5
Evil men will not understand judgment:
6
A poor man walking in truth is better than a rich liar.
7
A wise son keeps the law:
8
He that increases his wealth by usuries and unjust gains,
9
He that turns away his ear from hearing the law,
10
He that causes upright men to err in an evil way,
11
A rich man is wise in his own conceit;
12
By reason of the help of righteous men great glory arises:
13
He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper:
14
Blessed is the man who religiously fears always:
15
A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he,
16
A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor:
17
He that becomes surety for a man charged with murder Chasten thy son, and he shall love thee,
18
He that walks justly is assisted:
19
He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread:
20
A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed:
21
He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good:
22
An envious man makes haste to be rich,
23
He that reproves a man’s ways
24
He that casts off father or mother, and thinks he sins not;
25
An unbelieving man judges rashly:
26
He that trusts to a bold heart, such a one is a fool:
27
He that gives to the poor shall not be in want:
28
In the places of ungodly men the righteous mourn:
