ASV_Strong : Proverbs 28
1. The wicked[H7563] flee[H5127] when no man pursueth[H7291]; But the righteous[H6662] are bold[H982] as a lion[H3715].
2. For the transgression[H6588] of a land[H776] many[H7227] are the princes[H8269] thereof[H120]; But by men of understanding[H995] and knowledge[H3045] the state[H3651] thereof shall be prolonged[H748].
3. A needy[H7326] man[H1397] that oppresseth[H6231] the poor[H1800] Is like a sweeping[H5502] rain[H4306] which leaveth no food[H3899].
4. They that forsake[H5800] the law[H8451] praise[H1984] the wicked[H7563]; But such as keep[H8104] the law[H8451] contend with them[H1624].
5. Evil[H7451] men[H582] understand[H995] not justice[H4941]; But they that seek[H1245] Jehovah[H3068] understand all things[H995].
6. Better[H2896] is the poor[H7326] that walketh[H1980] in his integrity[H8537], Than he that is perverse[H6141] in his ways[H1870], though he be rich[H6223].
7. Whoso keepeth[H5341] the law[H8451] is a wise[H995] son[H1121]; But he that is a companion[H7462] of gluttons[H2151] shameth[H3637] his father[H1].
8. He that augmenteth[H7235] his substance[H1952] by interest[H5392] and increase[H8636], Gathereth[H6908] it for him that hath pity[H2603] on the poor[H1800].
9. He that turneth away[H5493] his ear[H241] from hearing[H8085] the law[H8451], Even his prayer[H8605] is an abomination[H8441].
10. Whoso causeth the upright[H3477] to go astray[H7686] in an evil[H7451] way[H1870], He shall fall[H5307] himself into his own pit[H7816]; But the perfect[H8549] shall inherit[H5157] good[H2896].
11. The rich[H6223] man[H376] is wise[H2450] in his own conceit[H5869]; But the poor[H1800] that hath understanding[H995] searcheth him out[H2713].
12. When the righteous[H6662] triumph[H5970], there is great[H7227] glory[H8597]; But when the wicked[H7563] rise[H6965], men[H120] hide themselves[H2664].
13. He that covereth[H3680] his transgressions[H6588] shall not prosper[H6743]: But whoso confesseth[H3034] and forsaketh[H5800] them shall obtain mercy[H7355].
14. Happy[H835] is the man[H120] that feareth[H6342] alway[H8548]; But he that hardeneth[H7185] his heart[H3820] shall fall[H5307] into mischief[H7451].
15. As a roaring[H5098] lion[H738], and a ranging[H8264] bear[H1677], So is a wicked[H7563] ruler[H4910] over a poor[H1800] people[H5971].
16. The prince[H5057] that lacketh[H2638] understanding[H8394] is also a great[H7227] oppressor[H4642]; But he that hateth[H8130] covetousness[H1215] shall prolong[H748] his days[H3117].
17. A man[H120] that is laden[H6231] with the blood[H1818] of any person[H5315] Shall flee[H5127] unto the pit[H953]; Let no man stay him[H8551].
18. Whoso walketh[H1980] uprightly[H8549] shall be delivered[H3467]; But he that is perverse[H6140] in his ways[H1870] shall fall[H5307] at once[H259].
19. He that tilleth[H5647] his land[H127] shall have plenty[H7646] of bread[H3899]; But he that followeth[H7291] after vain[H7386] persons shall have poverty enough[H7389].
20. A faithful[H530] man[H376] shall abound[H7227] with blessings[H1293]; But he that maketh haste[H213] to be rich[H6238] shall not be unpunished[H5352].
21. To have respect[H5234] of persons[H6440] is not good[H2896]; Neither that a man[H1397] should transgress[H6586] for a piece[H6595] of bread[H3899].
22. he[H376] that hath an evil[H7451] eye[H5869] hasteth[H926] after riches[H1952], And knoweth[H3045] not that want[H2639] shall come upon him[H935].
23. He that rebuketh[H3198] a man[H120] shall afterward[H310] find[H4672] more favor[H2580] Than he that flattereth[H2505] with the tongue[H3956].
24. Whoso robbeth[H1497] his father[H1] or his mother[H517], and saith[H559], It is no transgression[H6588], The same is the companion[H2270] of a destroyer[H376].
25. He that is of a greedy[H7342] spirit[H5315] stirreth up[H1624] strife[H4066]; But he that putteth his trust[H982] in Jehovah[H3068] shall be made fat[H1878].
26. He that trusteth[H982] in his own heart[H3820] is a fool[H3684]; But whoso walketh[H1980] wisely[H2451], he shall be delivered[H4422].
27. He that giveth[H5414] unto the poor[H7326] shall not lack[H4270]; But he that hideth[H5956] his eyes[H5869] shall have many[H7227] a curse[H3994].
28. When the wicked[H7563] rise[H6965], men[H120] hide[H5641] themselves[H6]; But when they perish, the righteous[H6662] increase[H7235].
