Proverbs 28 (kjv)

The wicked^H7563 flee^H5127 when no man pursueth^H7291: but the righteous^H6662 are bold^H982 as a lion^H3715.²For the transgression^H6588 of a land^H776 many^H7227 are the princes^H8269 thereof: but by a man^H120 of understanding^H995 and knowledge^H3045 the state^H3651 thereof shall be prolonged^H748(8686).³A poor^H7326 man^H1397 that oppresseth^H6231 the poor^H1800 is like a sweeping^H5502 rain^H4306 which leaveth no food^H3899.⁴They that forsake^H5800 the law^H8451 praise^H1984 the wicked^H7563: but such as keep^H8104 the law^H8451 contend^H1624 with them.⁵Evil^H7451 men^H582 understand^H995 not judgment^H4941: but they that seek^H1245 the LORD^H3068 understand^H995 all things.⁶Better^H2896 is the poor^H7326 that walketh^H1980 in his uprightness^H8537, than he that is perverse^H6141 in his ways^H1870, though he be rich^H6223.⁷Whoso keepeth^H5341 the law^H8451 is a wise^H995 son^H1121: but he that is a companion^H7462 of riotous^H2151 men shameth^H3637 his father^H1.⁸He that by usury^H5392 and unjust gain^H8636 increaseth^H7235 his substance^H1952, he shall gather^H6908 it for him that will pity^H2603 the poor^H1800.⁹He that turneth away^H5493 his ear^H241 from hearing^H8085 the law^H8451, even his prayer^H8605 shall be abomination^H8441.¹⁰Whoso causeth the righteous^H3477 to go astray^H7686 in an evil^H7451 way^H1870, he shall fall^H5307 himself into his own pit^H7816: but the upright^H8549 shall have good^H2896 things in possession^H5157.¹¹The rich^H6223 man^H376 is wise^H2450 in his own conceit^H5869; but the poor^H1800 that hath understanding^H995 searcheth him out^H2713.¹²When righteous^H6662 men do rejoice^H5970, there is great^H7227 glory^H8597: but when the wicked^H7563 rise^H6965, a man^H120 is hidden^H2664.¹³He that covereth^H3680 his sins^H6588 shall not prosper^H6743: but whoso confesseth^H3034 and forsaketh^H5800 them shall have mercy^H7355.¹⁴Happy^H835 is the man^H120 that feareth^H6342 alway^H8548: but he that hardeneth^H7185 his heart^H3820 shall fall^H5307 into mischief^H7451.¹⁵As a roaring^H5098 lion^H738, and a ranging^H8264 bear^H1677; so is a wicked^H7563 ruler^H4910 over the poor^H1800 people^H5971.¹⁶The prince^H5057 that wanteth^H2638 understanding^H8394 is also a great^H7227 oppressor^H4642: but he that hateth^H8130 covetousness^H1215 shall prolong^H748 his days^H3117.¹⁷A man^H120 that doeth violence^H6231 to the blood^H1818 of any person^H5315 shall flee^H5127 to the pit^H953; let no man stay^H8551 him.¹⁸Whoso walketh^H1980 uprightly^H8549 shall be saved^H3467: but he that is perverse^H6140 in his ways^H1870 shall fall^H5307 at once^H259.¹⁹He that tilleth^H5647 his land^H127 shall have plenty^H7646 of bread^H3899: but he that followeth^H7291 after vain^H7386 persons shall have poverty enough^H7389.²⁰A faithful^H530 man^H376 shall abound^H7227 with blessings^H1293: but he that maketh haste^H213 to be rich^H6238 shall not be innocent^H5352.²¹To have respect^H5234 of persons^H6440 is not good^H2896: for for a piece^H6595 of bread^H3899 that man^H1397 will transgress^H6586.²²He^H376 that hasteth^H926 to be rich^H1952 hath an evil^H7451 eye^H5869, and considereth^H3045 not that poverty^H2639 shall come^H935 upon him.²³He that rebuketh^H3198 a man^H120 afterwards^H310 shall find^H4672 more favour^H2580 than he that flattereth^H2505 with the tongue^H3956.²⁴Whoso robbeth^H1497 his father^H1 or his mother^H517, and saith^H559, It is no transgression^H6588; the same is the companion^H2270 of a destroyer^{H376 H7843}.²⁵He that is of a proud^H7342 heart^H5315 stirreth up^H1624 strife^H4066: but he that putteth his trust^H982 in the LORD^H3068 shall be made fat^H1878.²⁶He that trusteth^H982 in his own heart^H3820 is a fool^H3684: but whoso walketh^H1980 wisely^H2451, he shall be delivered^H4422.²⁷He that giveth^H5414 unto the poor^H7326 shall not lack^H4270: but he that hideth^H5956 his eyes^H5869 shall have many^H7227 a curse^H3994.²⁸When the wicked^H7563 rise^H6965, men^H120 hide^H5641 themselves: but when they perish^H6, the righteous^H6662 increase^H7235.
