Proverbs 28:14-21

1. 14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

2. 15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

3. 16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

4. 17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

5. 18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

6. 19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

7. 20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

8. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
