Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 028
28:001
The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are
secure as a young lion
28:002
For the transgression of a land many are the princes
thereof; but by a man of understanding and knowledge established order shall
long continue
28:003
A poor man that oppresseth the weak is like a sweeping rain
which leaveth no food
28:004
They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as
keep the law contend with them
28:005
Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek HaShem
understand all things
28:006
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he
that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich
28:007
A wise son observeth the teaching; but he that is a
companion of gluttonous men shameth his father
28:008
He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase,
gathereth it for him that is gracious to the poor
28:009
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his
prayer is an abomination
28:010
Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, he
shall fall himself into his own pit; but the whole-hearted shall inherit good
28:011
The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that
hath understanding searcheth him through
28:012
When the righteous exult, there is great glory; but when
the wicked rise, men must be sought for
28:013
He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but
whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy
28:014
Happy is the man that feareth alway; but he that hardeneth
his heart shall fall into evil
28:015
As a roaring lion, and a ravenous bear; so is a wicked
ruler over a poor people
28:016
The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great
oppressor; but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days
28:017
A man that is laden with the blood of any person shall
hasten his steps unto the pit; none will support him
28:018
Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved; but he that is
perverse in his ways shall fall at once
28:019
He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but
he that followeth after vain things shall have poverty enough
28:020
A faithful man shall abound with blessings; but he that
maketh haste to be rich shall not be unpunished
28:021
To have respect of persons is not good; for a man will
transgress for a piece of bread
28:022
He that hath an evil eye hasteneth after riches, and
knoweth not that want shall come upon him
28:023
He that rebuketh a man shall in the end find more favour
than he that flattereth with the tongue
28:024
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith: 'It is
no transgression', the same is the companion of a destroyer
28:025
He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife; but he
that putteth his trust in HaShem shall be abundantly gratified
28:026
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso
walketh wisely, he shall escape
28:027
He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; but he that
hideth his eyes shall have many a curse
28:028
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they
perish, the righteous increase
