28:15. As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people. 28:16. A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days. 28:17. A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him. 28:18. He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways, shall fall at once. 28:19. He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness, shall be filled with poverty. 28:20. A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent. 28:21. He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth. 28:22. A man that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him. 28:23. He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him. 28:24. He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer. 28:26. He that boasteth and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed. 28:26. He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved. 28:27. He that giveth to the poor shall not want: he that despiseth his intreaty, shall suffer indigence. 28:28. When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the just shall be multiplied. Proverbs Chapter 29 29:1. The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him. 29:2. When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn. 29:3. A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth harlots, shall squander away his substance. 29:4. A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it. 29:5. A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet. 29:6. A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice. 29:7. The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge. 29:8. Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath. 29:9. If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry, or laugh, he shall find no rest. 29:10. Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul. 29:11. A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards. 29:12. A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked. 29:13. The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both. 29:14. The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
