028:001

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

028:002

A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food

028:003

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them

028:004

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things

028:005

Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich

028:006

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father

028:007

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor

028:008

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination

028:009

Whoso causeth 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

028:010

The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out

028:011

When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden

028:012

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy

028:013

Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief

028:014

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people

028:015

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days

028:016

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him

028:017

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once

028:018

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough

028:019

A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent

028:020

To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress

028:021

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him

028:022

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue

028:023

Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer

028:024

He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat

028:025

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered

028:026

He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse

028:027

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase
