< Proverbs 28 >

1 They flee and there not [is one who] pursues [the] wicked and righteous [people] like a young lion he is confident. 2 By [the] transgression of a land [are] many princes its and by a person understanding knowing thus it will last long. 3 A man poor and [who] oppresses poor [people] rain [which] washes away and there not [is] food. 4 [those who] forsake [the] law They praise [the] wicked and [those who] keep [the] law they engage in strife with them. 5 People of evil not they understand justice and [those who] seek Yahweh they understand everything. 6 [is] good A poor [person] [who] walks in integrity his more than [the] [person] perverse of two ways and he [is] rich. 7 [one who] keeps [the] law [is] a son Understanding and [one who] associates with gluttons he shames father his. 8 [one who] increases Wealth his by interest (and usury *QK) for [one who] shows favor to poor [people] he gathers it. 9 [one who] turns aside Ear his from hearing [the] law also prayer his [is] an 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. 11 [is] wise In own eyes his a person rich and a poor [person] understanding he examines thoroughly him. 12 When rejoice righteous [people] great glory and when arise wicked [people] he is searched for everyone. 13 [one who] conceals Transgressions his not he will prosper and [one who] confesses and [one who] forsakes [them] he will be shown mercy. 14 How blessed! [is] a person [who] fears continually and [one who] hardens heart his he will fall in calamity. 15 A lion roaring and a bear rushing a ruler wicked over a people poor. 16 A ruler lacking of understanding and great of extortion ([one who] hates *QK) unjust gain he will prolong days. 17 A person oppressed by [the] blood of a life to [the] pit he will flee may not people support him. 18 [one who] walks Blameless he will be delivered and [one who] is crooked of two ways he will fall at one. 19 [one who] tills Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues empty [things] he will be satisfied poverty. 20 A person of faithfulness [will be] great of blessings and [one who] hastens to gain riches not he will go unpunished. 21 To pay regard to face not [is] good and on a piece of bread he will transgress a man. 22 [is] hastening To wealth a person evil of eye and not he knows that poverty it will come to him. 23 [one who] reproves A person after me favor he will find more than [one who] makes smooth [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. 25 A [person] arrogant of self he stirs up strife and [one who] relies on Yahweh he will 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. 27 [one who] gives To the poor there not [is] lack and [one who] hides eyes his great of curses. 28 When arise wicked [people] he hides himself everyone and when perish they they increase righteous [people].
