Proverbs 28

KJV

1  The wicked⁷⁵⁶³ flee⁵¹²⁷ when no³⁶⁹ man pursueth:⁷²⁹¹ but the righteous⁶⁶⁶² are bold⁹⁸² as a lion.³⁷¹⁵

2  For the transgression⁶⁵⁸⁸ of a land⁷⁷⁶ many⁷²²⁷ are the princes⁸²⁶⁹ thereof: but by a man¹²⁰ of understanding⁹⁹⁵ and knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ the state³⁶⁵¹ thereof shall be prolonged.⁷⁴⁸

3  A poor⁷³²⁶ man¹³⁹⁷ that oppresseth⁶²³¹ the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ is like a sweeping⁵⁵⁰² rain⁴³⁰⁶ which leaveth no³⁶⁹ food.³⁸⁹⁹

4  They that forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ praise¹⁹⁸⁴ the wicked:⁷⁵⁶³ but such as keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ contend¹⁶²⁴ with them.

5  Evil⁷⁴⁵¹ men³⁷⁶ understand⁹⁹⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ judgment:⁴⁹⁴¹ but they that seek¹²⁴⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ understand⁹⁹⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ things.

6  Better²⁸⁹⁶ is the poor⁷³²⁶ that walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ in his uprightness,⁸⁵³⁷ than he that is perverse^{4480 6141} in his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ though he¹⁹³¹ be rich.⁶²²³

7  Whoso keepeth⁵³⁴¹ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ is a wise⁹⁹⁵ son:¹¹²¹ but he that is a companion⁷⁴⁶² of riotous²¹⁵¹ men shameth³⁶³⁷ his father.¹

8  He that by usury⁵³⁹² and unjust gain⁸⁶³⁶ increaseth⁷²³⁵ his substance,¹⁹⁵² he shall gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ it for him that will pity²⁶⁰³ the poor.¹⁸⁰⁰

9  He that turneth away⁵⁴⁹³ his ear²⁴¹ from hearing^{4480 8085} the law,⁸⁴⁵¹ even¹⁵⁷¹ his prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ shall be abomination.⁸⁴⁴¹

10  Whoso causeth the righteous³⁴⁷⁷ to go astray⁷⁶⁸⁶ in an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ he shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ himself¹⁹³¹ into his own pit:⁷⁸¹⁶ but the upright⁸⁵⁴⁹ shall have good²⁸⁹⁶ things in possession.⁵¹⁵⁷

11  The rich⁶²²³ man³⁷⁶ is wise²⁴⁵⁰ in his own conceit;⁵⁸⁶⁹ but the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ that hath understanding⁹⁹⁵ searcheth him out.²⁷¹³

12  When righteous⁶⁶⁶² men do rejoice,⁵⁹⁷⁰ there is great⁷²²⁷ glory:⁸⁵⁹⁷ but when the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ rise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ a man¹²⁰ is hidden.²⁶⁶⁴

13  He that covereth³⁶⁸⁰ his sins⁶⁵⁸⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ prosper:⁶⁷⁴³ but whoso confesseth³⁰³⁴ and forsaketh⁵⁸⁰⁰ them shall have mercy.⁷³⁵⁵

14  Happy⁸³⁵ is the man¹²⁰ that feareth⁶³⁴² always:⁸⁵⁴⁸ but he that hardeneth⁷¹⁸⁵ his heart³⁸²⁰ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ into mischief.⁷⁴⁵¹

15  As a roaring⁵⁰⁹⁸ lion,⁷³⁸ and a ranging⁸²⁶⁴ bear;¹⁶⁷⁷ so is a wicked⁷⁵⁶³ ruler⁴⁹¹⁰ over⁵⁹²¹ the poor¹⁸⁰⁰ people.⁵⁹⁷¹

16  The prince⁵⁰⁵⁷ that wanteth²⁶³⁸ understanding⁸³⁹⁴ is also a great⁷²²⁷ oppressor:⁴⁶⁴² but he that hateth⁸¹³⁰ covetousness¹²¹⁵ shall prolong⁷⁴⁸ his days.³¹¹⁷

17  A man¹²⁰ that doeth violence⁶²³¹ to the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of any person⁵³¹⁵ shall flee⁵¹²⁷ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the pit;⁹⁵³ let no⁴⁰⁸ man stay⁸⁵⁵¹ him.

18  Whoso walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ uprightly⁸⁵⁴⁹ shall be saved:³⁴⁶⁷ but he that is perverse⁶¹⁴⁰ in his ways¹⁸⁷⁰ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ at once.²⁵⁹

19  He that tilleth⁵⁶⁴⁷ his land¹²⁷ shall have plenty⁷⁶⁴⁶ of bread:³⁸⁹⁹ but he that followeth⁷²⁹¹ after vain⁷³⁸⁶ persons shall have poverty⁷³⁸⁹ enough.⁷⁶⁴⁶

20  A faithful⁵³⁰ man³⁷⁶ shall abound⁷²²⁷ with blessings:¹²⁹³ but he that maketh haste²¹³ to be rich⁶²³⁸ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be innocent.⁵³⁵²

21  To have respect⁵²³⁴ of persons⁶⁴⁴⁰ is not³⁸⁰⁸ good:²⁸⁹⁶ for for⁵⁹²¹ a piece⁶⁵⁹⁵ of bread³⁸⁹⁹ that man¹³⁹⁷ will transgress.⁶⁵⁸⁶

22  He³⁷⁶ that hasteth⁹²⁶ to be rich¹⁹⁵² hath an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ eye,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and considereth³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ poverty²⁶³⁹ shall come upon⁹³⁵ him.

23  He that rebuketh³¹⁹⁸ a man¹²⁰ afterwards³¹⁰ shall find⁴⁶⁷² more favor²⁵⁸⁰ than he that flattereth^{4480 2505} with the tongue.³⁹⁵⁶

24  Whoso robbeth¹⁴⁹⁷ his father¹ or his mother,⁵¹⁷ and saith,⁵⁵⁹ It is no³⁶⁹ transgression;⁶⁵⁸⁸ the same¹⁹³¹ is the companion²²⁷⁰ of a destroyer.^{376 7843}

25  He that is of a proud⁷³⁴² heart⁵³¹⁵ stirreth up¹⁶²⁴ strife:⁴⁰⁶⁶ but he that putteth his trust⁹⁸² in⁵⁹²¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall be made fat.¹⁸⁷⁸

26  He¹⁹³¹ that trusteth⁹⁸² in his own heart³⁸²⁰ is a fool:³⁶⁸⁴ but whoso walketh¹⁹⁸⁰ wisely,²⁴⁵¹ he¹⁹³¹ shall be delivered.⁴⁴²²

27  He that giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the poor⁷³²⁶ shall not³⁶⁹ lack:⁴²⁷⁰ but he that hideth⁵⁹⁵⁶ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall have many⁷²²⁷ a curse.³⁹⁹⁴

28  When the wicked⁷⁵⁶³ rise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ men¹²⁰ hide themselves:⁵⁶⁴¹ but when they perish,⁶ the righteous⁶⁶⁶² increase.⁷²³⁵

Vul

1 [Fugit impius nemine persequente;
justus autem, quasi leo confidens, absque terrore erit.

2 Propter peccata terræ multi principes ejus;
et propter hominis sapientiam, et horum scientiam quæ dicuntur,
vita ducis longior erit.

3 Vir pauper calumnians pauperes
similis est imbri vehementi in quo paratur fames.]

4 [Qui derelinquunt legem laudant impium;
qui custodiunt, succenduntur contra eum.

5 Viri mali non cogitant judicium;
qui autem inquirunt Dominum animadvertunt omnia.

6 Melior est pauper ambulans in simplicitate sua
quam dives in pravis itineribus.

7 Qui custodit legem filius sapiens est;
qui autem comessatores pascit confundit patrem suum.

8 Qui coacervat divitias usuris et fœnore,
liberali in pauperes congregat eas.

9 Qui declinat aures suas ne audiat legem,
oratio ejus erit execrabilis.

10 Qui decipit justos in via mala, in interitu suo corruet,
et simplices possidebunt bona ejus.

11 Sapiens sibi videtur vir dives;
pauper autem prudens scrutabitur eum.

12 In exsultatione justorum multa gloria est;
regnantibus impiis, ruinæ hominum.

13 Qui abscondit scelera sua non dirigetur;
qui autem confessus fuerit et reliquerit ea, misericordiam consequetur.

14 Beatus homo qui semper est pavidus;
qui vero mentis est duræ corruet in malum.

15 Leo rugiens et ursus esuriens,
princeps impius super populum pauperem.

16 Dux indigens prudentia multos opprimet per calumniam;
qui autem odit avaritiam, longi fient dies ejus.

17 Hominem qui calumniatur animæ sanguinem,
si usque ad lacum fugerit, nemo sustinet.

18 Qui ambulat simpliciter salvus erit;
qui perversis graditur viis concidet semel.

19 Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus;
qui autem sectatur otium replebitur egestate.]

20 [Vir fidelis multum laudabitur;
qui autem festinat ditari non erit innocens.

21 Qui cognoscit in judicio faciem non bene facit;
iste et pro buccella panis deserit veritatem.

22 Vir qui festinat ditari, et aliis invidet,
ignorat quod egestas superveniet ei.

23 Qui corripit hominem gratiam postea inveniet apud eum,
magis quam ille qui per linguæ blandimenta decipit.

24 Qui subtrahit aliquid a patre suo et a matre,
et dicit hoc non esse peccatum,
particeps homicidæ est.

25 Qui se jactat et dilatat, jurgia concitat;
qui vero sperat in Domino sanabitur.

26 Qui confidit in corde suo stultus est;
qui autem graditur sapienter, ipse salvabitur.

27 Qui dat pauperi non indigebit;
qui despicit deprecantem sustinebit penuriam.

28 Cum surrexerint impii, abscondentur homines;
cum illi perierint, multiplicabuntur justi.]
