Proverbs 28

KJV

1  The wicked7563 flee5127 when no369 man pursueth:7291 but the righteous6662 are bold982 as a lion.3715

2  For the transgression6588 of a land776 many7227 are the princes8269 thereof: but by a man120 of understanding995 and knowledge3045 the state3651 thereof shall be prolonged.748

3  A poor7326 man1397 that oppresseth6231 the poor1800 is like a sweeping5502 rain4306 which leaveth no369 food.3899

4  They that forsake5800 the law8451 praise1984 the wicked:7563 but such as keep8104 the law8451 contend1624 with them.

5  Evil7451 men376 understand995 not3808 judgment:4941 but they that seek1245 the LORD3068 understand995 all3605 things.

6  Better2896 is the poor7326 that walketh1980 in his uprightness,8537 than he that is perverse4480 6141 in his ways,1870 though he1931 be rich.6223

7  Whoso keepeth5341 the law8451 is a wise995 son:1121 but he that is a companion7462 of riotous2151 men shameth3637 his father.1

8  He that by usury5392 and unjust gain8636 increaseth7235 his substance,1952 he shall gather6908 it for him that will pity2603 the poor.1800

9  He that turneth away5493 his ear241 from hearing4480 8085 the law,8451 even1571 his prayer8605 shall be abomination.8441

10  Whoso causeth the righteous3477 to go astray7686 in an evil7451 way,1870 he shall fall5307 himself1931 into his own pit:7816 but the upright8549 shall have good2896 things in possession.5157

11  The rich6223 man376 is wise2450 in his own conceit;5869 but the poor1800 that hath understanding995 searcheth him out.2713

12  When righteous6662 men do rejoice,5970 there is great7227 glory:8597 but when the wicked7563 rise,6965 a man120 is hidden.2664

13  He that covereth3680 his sins6588 shall not3808 prosper:6743 but whoso confesseth3034 and forsaketh5800 them shall have mercy.7355

14  Happy835 is the man120 that feareth6342 always:8548 but he that hardeneth7185 his heart3820 shall fall5307 into mischief.7451

15  As a roaring5098 lion,738 and a ranging8264 bear;1677 so is a wicked7563 ruler4910 over5921 the poor1800 people.5971

16  The prince5057 that wanteth2638 understanding8394 is also a great7227 oppressor:4642 but he that hateth8130 covetousness1215 shall prolong748 his days.3117

17  A man120 that doeth violence6231 to the blood1818 of any person5315 shall flee5127 to5704 the pit;953 let no408 man stay8551 him.

18  Whoso walketh1980 uprightly8549 shall be saved:3467 but he that is perverse6140 in his ways1870 shall fall5307 at once.259

19  He that tilleth5647 his land127 shall have plenty7646 of bread:3899 but he that followeth7291 after vain7386 persons shall have poverty7389 enough.7646

20  A faithful530 man376 shall abound7227 with blessings:1293 but he that maketh haste213 to be rich6238 shall not3808 be innocent.5352

21  To have respect5234 of persons6440 is not3808 good:2896 for for5921 a piece6595 of bread3899 that man1397 will transgress.6586

22  He376 that hasteth926 to be rich1952 hath an evil7451 eye,5869 and considereth3045 not3808 that3588 poverty2639 shall come upon935 him.

23  He that rebuketh3198 a man120 afterwards310 shall find4672 more favor2580 than he that flattereth4480 2505 with the tongue.3956

24  Whoso robbeth1497 his father1 or his mother,517 and saith,559 It is no369 transgression;6588 the same1931 is the companion2270 of a destroyer.376 7843

25  He that is of a proud7342 heart5315 stirreth up1624 strife:4066 but he that putteth his trust982 in5921 the LORD3068 shall be made fat.1878

26  He1931 that trusteth982 in his own heart3820 is a fool:3684 but whoso walketh1980 wisely,2451 he1931 shall be delivered.4422

27  He that giveth5414 unto the poor7326 shall not369 lack:4270 but he that hideth5956 his eyes5869 shall have many7227 a curse.3994

28  When the wicked7563 rise,6965 men120 hide themselves:5641 but when they perish,6 the righteous6662 increase.7235

Vul

1 [Fugit impius nemine persequente;
justus autem, quasi leo confidens, absque terrore erit.

2 Propter peccata terræ multi principes ejus;
et propter hominis sapientiam, et horum scientiam quæ dicuntur,
vita ducis longior erit.

3 Vir pauper calumnians pauperes
similis est imbri vehementi in quo paratur fames.]

4 [Qui derelinquunt legem laudant impium;
qui custodiunt, succenduntur contra eum.

5 Viri mali non cogitant judicium;
qui autem inquirunt Dominum animadvertunt omnia.

6 Melior est pauper ambulans in simplicitate sua
quam dives in pravis itineribus.

7 Qui custodit legem filius sapiens est;
qui autem comessatores pascit confundit patrem suum.

8 Qui coacervat divitias usuris et fœnore,
liberali in pauperes congregat eas.

9 Qui declinat aures suas ne audiat legem,
oratio ejus erit execrabilis.

10 Qui decipit justos in via mala, in interitu suo corruet,
et simplices possidebunt bona ejus.

11 Sapiens sibi videtur vir dives;
pauper autem prudens scrutabitur eum.

12 In exsultatione justorum multa gloria est;
regnantibus impiis, ruinæ hominum.

13 Qui abscondit scelera sua non dirigetur;
qui autem confessus fuerit et reliquerit ea, misericordiam consequetur.

14 Beatus homo qui semper est pavidus;
qui vero mentis est duræ corruet in malum.

15 Leo rugiens et ursus esuriens,
princeps impius super populum pauperem.

16 Dux indigens prudentia multos opprimet per calumniam;
qui autem odit avaritiam, longi fient dies ejus.

17 Hominem qui calumniatur animæ sanguinem,
si usque ad lacum fugerit, nemo sustinet.

18 Qui ambulat simpliciter salvus erit;
qui perversis graditur viis concidet semel.

19 Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus;
qui autem sectatur otium replebitur egestate.]

20 [Vir fidelis multum laudabitur;
qui autem festinat ditari non erit innocens.

21 Qui cognoscit in judicio faciem non bene facit;
iste et pro buccella panis deserit veritatem.

22 Vir qui festinat ditari, et aliis invidet,
ignorat quod egestas superveniet ei.

23 Qui corripit hominem gratiam postea inveniet apud eum,
magis quam ille qui per linguæ blandimenta decipit.

24 Qui subtrahit aliquid a patre suo et a matre,
et dicit hoc non esse peccatum,
particeps homicidæ est.

25 Qui se jactat et dilatat, jurgia concitat;
qui vero sperat in Domino sanabitur.

26 Qui confidit in corde suo stultus est;
qui autem graditur sapienter, ipse salvabitur.

27 Qui dat pauperi non indigebit;
qui despicit deprecantem sustinebit penuriam.

28 Cum surrexerint impii, abscondentur homines;
cum illi perierint, multiplicabuntur justi.]
