Proverbs 28
28
1The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them, # Lv 26:17; Ps 53:5
but the righteous are as bold as a lion. # Eph 6:19-20
2When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers, # 1Kg 16:8-28; 2Kg 15:8-15
but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.
3A destitute leader # LXX reads A wicked man who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no food. # Ex 9:25
4Those who reject the law praise the wicked, # Rm 1:32
but those who keep the law battle against them. # 1Kg 18:18; Neh 13:11,15; Mt 3:7; 14:4; Eph 5:11
5Evil men do not understand justice, # Ps 92:6
but those who seek the Lord understand everything. # Ps 119:100; Jn 7:17; 1Co 2:15; Jms 1:5; 1Jn 2:20,27
6Better a poor man who lives with integrity # Pr 19:1; 20:7
than a rich man who distorts right and wrong. # Lit who twists two ways # Pr 16:8,19; 19:22; Is 5:20
7A discerning son keeps the law,
but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father. # Dt 21:20; Pr 17:25; 23:20; 29:3
8Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest # Ex 22:25; Lv 25:36
collects it for one who is kind to the poor. # Jb 27:17; Pr 13:22; Ec 2:26; Ezk 18:13,17
9Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law —
even his prayer is detestable. # Ps 109:7; Pr 15:8,29; 21:27
10The one who leads the upright into an evil way
will fall into his own pit, # Ps 7:15; Pr 16:29; 26:27; Mt 18:6
but the blameless will inherit what is good. # Mt 5:6
11A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.
12When the righteous triumph,
there is great rejoicing, # Lit glory
but when the wicked come to power,
people hide themselves. # Pr 11:10; 28:28; 29:2; Ec 10:5-6
13The one who conceals his sins
will not prosper, # Jb 31:33; Ps 32:3
but whoever confesses and renounces them
will find mercy. # Ps 32:5; Jms 5:16; 1Jn 1:9
14Happy is the one who is always reverent, # 2Ch 19:7; Pr 23:17
but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. # Ps 95:8
15A wicked ruler over a helpless people # Ex 1:14; Pr 29:2; Mt 2:16
is like a roaring lion or a charging bear. # Pr 19:12; 1Pt 5:8
16A leader who lacks understanding
is very oppressive,
but one who hates dishonest profit
prolongs his life. # 1Kg 12:1-19; Ps 15:5; Pr 15:27
17A man burdened by bloodguilt # Lit the blood of a person
will be a fugitive until death. # Gn 4:14; 9:6; Ex 21:14
Let no one help him. # Nm 35:31
18The one who lives with integrity will be helped,
but one who distorts right and wrong # Lit who is twisted regarding two ways
will suddenly fall. # Pr 2:7; 10:9; 20:7
19The one who works his land
will have plenty of food, # Pr 24:27
but whoever chases fantasies
will have his fill of poverty. # Pr 1:31; 12:11,14; 14:14
20A faithful man will have many blessings, # Pr 10:6; Mt 25:21
but one in a hurry to get rich # Pr 20:21; 28:22; 1Tm 6:9
will not go unpunished.
21It is not good to show partiality # Pr 18:5; 24:23 —
yet a man may sin for a piece of bread. # Ezk 13:19
22A greedy man # Lit A man with an evil eye is in a hurry for wealth;
he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him. # Pr 13:11; 20:21; 21:5; 22:16
23One who rebukes a person will later find more favor # Pr 27:5-6
than one who flatters # Lit is smooth with his tongue. # Pr 26:28; 29:5
24The one who robs his father or mother # Pr 19:6
and says, “That’s no sin,” # Pr 30:20; Mk 7:11
is a companion to a man who destroys. # Pr 18:9
25A greedy person provokes conflict, # Pr 15:18
but whoever trusts in the Lord will prosper. # Ps 37:3-5; Pr 3:5-6; Jr 17:7-8
26The one who trusts in himself # Lit his heart is a fool,
but one who walks in wisdom will be safe. # Pr 3:5-7
27The one who gives to the poor
will not be in need,
but one who turns his eyes away # Lit who shuts his eyes
will receive many curses. # Pr 11:24; 19:17; 22:16
28When the wicked come to power,
people hide,
but when they are destroyed,
the righteous flourish. # Pr 28:12; 29:2
