< Proverbs 28 >

1 The ungodly [man] flees when no one pursues: but the righteous is confident as a lion.
They flee and there not [is one who] pursues [the] wicked and righteous [people] like a young lion he is confident.
2 By reason of the sins of ungodly men quarrels arise; but a wise man will quell them.
By [the] transgression of a land [are] many princes its and by a person understanding knowing thus it will last long.
3 A bold man oppresses the poor by ungodly deeds. As an impetuous and profitable rain,
A man poor and [who] oppresses poor [people] rain [which] washes away and there not [is] food.
4 so they that forsake the law praise ungodliness; but they that love the law fortify themselves with a wall.
[those who] forsake [the] law They praise [the] wicked and [those who] keep [the] law they engage in strife with them.
5 Evil men will not understand judgement: but they that seek the Lord will understand everything.
People of evil not they understand justice and [those who] seek Yahweh they understand everything.
6 A poor man walking in truth is better than a rich liar.
[is] good A poor [person] [who] walks in integrity his more than [the] [person] perverse of two ways and he [is] rich.
7 A wise son keeps the law: but he that keeps up debauchery dishonours his father.
[one who] keeps [the] law [is] a son Understanding and [one who] associates with gluttons he shames father his.
8 He that increases his wealth by usuries and [unjust] gains, gathers it for him that pities 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 He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even he has made his prayer abominable.
[one who] turns aside Ear his from hearing [the] law also prayer his [is] an abomination.
10 He that causes upright men to err in an evil way, himself shall fall into destruction: transgressor also shall pass by prosperity, but shall not enter into it.
[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 A rich man is wise in his own conceit; but an intelligent poor man will condemn him.
[is] wise In own eyes his a person rich and a poor [person] understanding he examines thoroughly him.
12 By reason of the help of righteous men great glory arises: but in the places of the ungodly men are caught.
When rejoice righteous [people] great glory and when arise wicked [people] he is searched for everyone.
13 He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper: but he that blames [himself] shall be loved.
[one who] conceals Transgressions his not he will prosper and [one who] confesses and [one who] forsakes [them] he will be shown mercy.
14 Blessed is the man who religiously fears always: but the hard of heart shall fall into mischiefs.
How blessed! [is] a person [who] fears continually and [one who] hardens heart his he will fall in calamity.
15 A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf [is he], who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.
A lion roaring and a bear rushing a ruler wicked over a people poor.
16 A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time.
A ruler lacking of understanding and great of extortion ([one who] hates *Q(K)*) unjust gain he will prolong days.
17 He that becomes surety for a man charged with murder shall be an exile, and not in safety. Chasten your son, and he shall love you, and give honour to your soul: he shall not obey a sinful nation.
A person oppressed by [the] blood of a life to [the] pit he will flee may not people support him.
18 He that walks justly is assisted: but he that walks in crooked ways shall be entangled [therein].
[one who] walks Blameless he will be delivered and [one who] is crooked of two ways he will fall at one.
19 He that tills his own land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that follows idleness shall have plenty of poverty.
[one who] tills Land his he will be satisfied food and [one who] pursues empty [things] he will be satisfied poverty.
20 A man worthy of credit shall be much blessed: but the wicked shall not be unpunished.
A person of faithfulness [will be] great of blessings and [one who] hastens to gain riches not he will go unpunished.
21 He that reverences not the persons of the just is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.
To pay regard to face not [is] good and on a piece of bread he will transgress a man.
22 An envious man makes haste to be rich, and knows not that the merciful man will have the mastery over him.
[is] hastening To wealth a person evil of eye and not he knows that poverty it will come to him.
23 He that reproves a man's ways shall have more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
[one who] reproves A person after me favor he will find more than [one who] makes smooth [the] tongue.
24 He that casts off father or mother, and thinks he sins not; the same is partaker with an ungodly man.
[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 An unbelieving man judges rashly: but he that trusts in the Lord will act carefully.
A [person] arrogant of self he stirs up strife and [one who] relies on Yahweh he will be made fat.
26 He that trusts to a bold heart, such an one is a fool: but he that walks in wisdom shall be 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 that gives to the poor shall not be in lack: but he that turns away his eye [from him] shall be in great distress.
[one who] gives To the poor there not [is] lack and [one who] hides eyes his great of curses.
28 In the places of ungodly [men] the righteous mourn: but in their destruction the righteous shall be multiplied.
When arise wicked [people] he hides himself everyone and when perish they they increase righteous [people].
