Bible. Proverbs
20:028:010 Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he
shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall
have good things in possession.
20:028:011 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that
hath understanding searcheth him out.
20:028:012 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when
the wicked rise, a man is hidden.
20:028:013 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso
confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
20:028:014 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his
heart shall fall into mischief.
20:028:015 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler
over the poor people.
20:028:016 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great
oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his
days.
20:028:017 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall
flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
20:028:018 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is
perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
20:028:019 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he
that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
20:028:020 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh
haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
20:028:021 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of
bread that man will transgress.
20:028:022 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth
not that poverty shall come upon him.
20:028:023 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than
he that flattereth with the tongue.
20:028:024 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no
transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.
20:028:025 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that
putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
20:028:026 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh
wisely, he shall be delivered.
20:028:027 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that
hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
20:028:028 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they
perish, the righteous increase.
20:029:001 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall
suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
20:029:002 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but
when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
20:029:003 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth
company with harlots spendeth his substance.
20:029:004 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that
receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
