Proverbs 28:14-28
-
14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
-
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
-
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
-
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
-
18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
-
19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
-
20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
-
21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
-
22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.
-
23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
-
24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
-
25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
-
26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-
27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
-
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
