The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 28:12-22

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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