Proverbs 28:9-20
Proverbs 28:9-20 NASB2020
One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law, Even his prayer is an abomination. One who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit, But the blameless will inherit good. The rich person is wise in his own eyes, But the poor who has understanding sees through him. When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, But when the wicked rise, people hide themselves. One who conceals his wrongdoings will not prosper, But one who confesses and abandons them will find compassion. How blessed is the person who fears always, But one who hardens his heart will fall into disaster. Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear Is a wicked ruler over a poor people. A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding, But a person who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. A person who is burdened with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; no one is to support him! One who walks blamelessly will receive help, But one who is crooked will fall all at once. One who works his land will have plenty of food, But one who follows empty pursuits will have plenty of poverty. A faithful person will abound with blessings, But one who hurries to be rich will not go unpunished.
