Proverbs 28:1-13
Proverbs 28:1-13 NASB2020
The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Due to a wrongdoing of a land its leaders are many, But by a person of understanding and knowledge, so it endures. A poor man who oppresses the helpless Is like a driving rain which leaves no food. Those who abandon the Law praise the wicked, But those who keep the Law strive against them. Evil people do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand everything. Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity, Than a person who is crooked, though he is rich. He who keeps the Law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father. One who increases his wealth by interest of any kind, Collects it for one who is gracious to the poor. 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.
