Proverbs 28
1 They flee and there not [is one who] pursues [the] wicked and righteous [people] like a young lion he is confident.
The wicked flee when no man pursues: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 By [the] transgression of a land [are] many princes its and by a person understanding knowing thus it will last long.
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A man poor and [who] oppresses poor [people] rain [which] washes away and there not [is] food.
A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which left no food.
4 [those who] forsake [the] law They praise [the] wicked and [those who] keep [the] law they engage in strife with them.
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 People of evil not they understand justice and [those who] seek Yahweh they understand everything.
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
6 [is] good A poor [person] [who] walks in integrity his more than [the] [person] perverse of two ways and he [is] rich.
Better is the poor that walks in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
7 [one who] keeps [the] law [is] a son Understanding and [one who] associates with gluttons he shames father his.
Whoso keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shames his father.
8 [one who] increases Wealth his by interest (and usury *QK) for [one who] shows favor to poor [people] he gathers it.
He that by interest and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
9 [one who] turns aside Ear his from hearing [the] law also prayer his [is] an abomination.
He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
10 [one who] leads astray Upright [people] - in a way evil in own pit his he he will fall and blameless [people] they will inherit good.
Whoso causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
11 [is] wise In own eyes his a person rich and a poor [person] understanding he examines thoroughly him.
The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that has understanding searches him out.
12 When rejoice righteous [people] great glory and when arise wicked [people] he is searched for everyone.
When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
13 [one who] conceals Transgressions his not he will prosper and [one who] confesses and [one who] forsakes [them] he will be shown mercy.
He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.
14 How blessed! [is] a person [who] fears continually and [one who] hardens heart his he will fall in calamity.
Happy is the man that fears always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.
15 A lion roaring and a bear rushing a ruler wicked over a people poor.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 A ruler lacking of understanding and great of extortion ([one who] hates *QK) unjust gain he will prolong days.
The prince that wants understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A person oppressed by [the] blood of a life to [the] pit he will flee may not people support him.
A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
18 [one who] walks Blameless he will be delivered and [one who] is crooked of two ways he will fall at one.
Whoso walks uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
19 [one who] tills Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues empty [things] he will be satisfied poverty.
He that tills his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that follows after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20 A person of faithfulness [will be] great of blessings and [one who] hastens to gain riches not he will go unpunished.
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
21 To pay regard to face not [is] good and on a piece of bread he will transgress a man.
To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
22 [is] hastening To wealth a person evil of eye and not he knows that poverty it will come to him.
He that hastes to be rich has an evil eye, and considers not that poverty shall come upon him.
23 [one who] reproves A person after me favor he will find more than [one who] makes smooth [the] tongue.
He that rebukes a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
24 [one who] robs - Father his and mother his and [one who] says there not [is] a transgression [is] a companion he of a person of destruction.
Whoso robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
25 A [person] arrogant of self he stirs up strife and [one who] relies on Yahweh he will be made fat.
He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife: but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
26 [one who] trusts In own heart his he [is] a fool and [one who] walks in wisdom he he will be delivered.
He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
27 [one who] gives To the poor there not [is] lack and [one who] hides eyes his great of curses.
He that gives unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.
28 When arise wicked [people] he hides himself everyone and when perish they they increase righteous [people].
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
