Proverbs 28
1 The evil man goes running away when no man is after him, but the upright are without fear, like the lion.
They flee and there not [is one who] pursues [the] wicked and righteous [people] like a young lion he is confident.
2 Because of the sin of the land, its troubles are increased; but by a man of wisdom and knowledge they will be put out like a fire.
By [the] transgression of a land [are] many princes its and by a person understanding knowing thus it will last long.
3 A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food.
A man poor and [who] oppresses poor [people] rain [which] washes away and there not [is] food.
4 Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him.
[those who] forsake [the] law They praise [the] wicked and [those who] keep [the] law they engage in strife with them.
5 Evil men have no knowledge of what is right; but those who go after the Lord have knowledge of all things.
People of evil not they understand justice and [those who] seek Yahweh they understand everything.
6 Better is the poor man whose ways are upright, than the man of wealth whose ways are not straight.
[is] good A poor [person] [who] walks in integrity his more than [the] [person] perverse of two ways and he [is] rich.
7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who keeps company with feasters puts shame on his father.
[one who] keeps [the] law [is] a son Understanding and [one who] associates with gluttons he shames father his.
8 He who makes his wealth greater by taking interest, only gets it together for him who has pity on the poor.
[one who] increases Wealth his by interest (and usury *Q(K)*) for [one who] shows favor to poor [people] he gathers it.
9 As for the man whose ear is turned away from hearing the law, even his prayer is disgusting.
[one who] turns aside Ear his from hearing [the] law also prayer his [is] an abomination.
10 Anyone causing the upright to go wandering in an evil way, will himself go down into the hole he has made; but the upright will have good things for their heritage.
[one who] leads astray Upright [people] - in a way evil in own pit his he he will fall and blameless [people] they will inherit good.
11 The man of wealth seems to himself to be wise, but the poor man who has sense has a low opinion of him.
[is] wise In own eyes his a person rich and a poor [person] understanding he examines thoroughly him.
12 When the upright do well, there is great glory; but when evil-doers are lifted up, men do not let themselves be seen.
When rejoice righteous [people] great glory and when arise wicked [people] he is searched for everyone.
13 He who keeps his sins secret will not do well; but one who is open about them, and gives them up, will get mercy.
[one who] conceals Transgressions his not he will prosper and [one who] confesses and [one who] forsakes [them] he will be shown mercy.
14 Happy is the man in whom is the fear of the Lord at all times; but he whose heart is hard will come into trouble.
How blessed! [is] a person [who] fears continually and [one who] hardens heart his he will fall in calamity.
15 Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people.
A lion roaring and a bear rushing a ruler wicked over a people poor.
16 The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.
A ruler lacking of understanding and great of extortion ([one who] hates *Q(K)*) unjust gain he will prolong days.
17 One who has been the cause of a man's death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help.
A person oppressed by [the] blood of a life to [the] pit he will flee may not people support him.
18 He whose ways are upright will be safe, but sudden will be the fall of him whose ways are twisted.
[one who] walks Blameless he will be delivered and [one who] is crooked of two ways he will fall at one.
19 By ploughing his land a man will have bread in full measure; but he who goes after good-for-nothing persons will be poor enough.
[one who] tills Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues empty [things] he will be satisfied poverty.
20 A man of good faith will have great blessing, but one attempting to get wealth quickly will not go free from punishment.
A person of faithfulness [will be] great of blessings and [one who] hastens to gain riches not he will go unpunished.
21 It is not good to have respect for a man's position: for a man will do wrong for a bit of bread.
To pay regard to face not [is] good and on a piece of bread he will transgress a man.
22 He who is ever desiring wealth goes running after money, and does not see that need will come on him.
[is] hastening To wealth a person evil of eye and not he knows that poverty it will come to him.
23 He who says words of protest to a man will later have more approval than one who says smooth words with his tongue.
[one who] reproves A person after me favor he will find more than [one who] makes smooth [the] tongue.
24 He who takes from his father or his mother what is theirs by right, and says, It is no sin; is the same as a taker of life.
[one who] robs - Father his and mother his and [one who] says there not [is] a transgression [is] a companion he of a person of destruction.
25 He who is ever desiring profit is a cause of fighting; but he who puts his faith in the Lord will be made fat.
A [person] arrogant of self he stirs up strife and [one who] relies on Yahweh he will be made fat.
26 He whose faith is in himself is foolish; but everyone walking wisely will be kept safe.
[one who] trusts In own heart his he [is] a fool and [one who] walks in wisdom he he will be delivered.
27 He who gives to the poor will never be in need, but great curses will be on him who gives no attention to them.
[one who] gives To the poor there not [is] lack and [one who] hides eyes his great of curses.
28 When evil-doers are lifted up, men take cover; but when destruction overtakes them, the upright are increased.
When arise wicked [people] he hides himself everyone and when perish they they increase righteous [people].
