1
The wickedH7563 fleeH5127 when noH369 man pursues:H7291 but the righteousH6662 are boldH982 as a lion.H3715
2
For the transgressionH6588 of a landH776 manyH7227 are the princesH8269 thereof: but by a manH120 of understandingH995 and knowledgeH3045 the stateH3651 thereof shall be prolonged.H748
3
A poorH7326 manH1397 that oppressesH6231 the poorH1800 is like a sweepingH5502 rainH4306 which leaves noH369 food.H3899
4
They that forsakeH5800 the lawH8451 praiseH1984 the wicked:H7563 but such as keepH8104 the lawH8451 contendH1624 with them.
5
EvilH7451 menH582 understandH995 not judgment:H4941 but they that seekH1245 the LORDH3068 understandH995 allH3605 things.
6
BetterH2896 is the poorH1800 that walksH1980 in his uprightness,H8537 than he that is perverseH6141 in his ways,H1870 though he be rich.H6223
7
Whoever keepsH5341 the lawH8451 is a wiseH995 son:H1121 but he that is a companionH7462 of riotousH2151 men shamesH3637 his father.H1
8
He that by usuryH5392 and unjustH8636 gainH8636 increasesH7235 his substance,H1952 he shall gatherH6908 it for him that will pityH2603 the poor.H1800
9
He that turnsH5493 away his earH241 from hearingH8085 the law,H8451 evenH1571 his prayerH8605 shall be abomination.H8441
10
Whoever causes the righteousH3477 to goH7686 astrayH7686 in an evilH7451 way,H1870 he shall fallH5307 himselfH1931 into his own pit:H7816 but the uprightH8549 shall have goodH2896 things in possession.
11
The richH6223 manH376 is wiseH2450 in his own conceit;H5869 but the poorH1800 that has understandingH995 searchesH2713 him out.
12
When righteousH6662 men do rejoice,H5970 there is greatH7227 glory:H8597 but when the wickedH7563 rise,H6965 a manH120 is hidden.H2664
13
He that coversH3680 his sinsH6588 shall not prosper:H6743 but whoever confessesH3034 and forsakesH5800 them shall have mercy.H7355
14
HappyH835 is the manH120 that fearsH6342 always:H8548 but he that hardensH7185 his heartH3820 shall fallH5307 into mischief.H7451
15
As a roaringH5098 lion,H739 and a rangingH8264 bear;H1677 so is a wickedH7563 rulerH4910 overH5921 the poorH1800 people.H5971
16
The princeH5057 that wantsH2638 understandingH8394 is also a greatH7227 oppressor:H4642 but he that hatesH8130 covetousnessH1215 shall prolongH748 his days.H3117
17
A man that does violenceH6231 to the bloodH1818 of any personH5315 shall fleeH5127 to the pit;H953 let noH408 manH120 stayH8551 him.
18
Whoever walksH1980 uprightlyH8549 shall be saved:H3467 but he that is perverseH6140 in his waysH1870 shall fallH5307 at once.H259
19
He that tillsH5647 his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of bread:H3899 but he that followsH7291 after vainH7386 persons shall have povertyH7389 enough.H7646
20
A faithfulH530 manH376 shall aboundH7227 with blessings:H1293 but he that makes hasteH213 to be richH6238 shall not be innocent.H5352
21
To have respectH5234 of personsH6440 is not good:H2896 for for a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 that manH1397 will transgress.H6586
22
He that hastensH926 to be richH1952 has an evilH7451 eye,H5869 and considersH3045 not that povertyH2639 shall comeH935 on him.
23
He that rebukesH3198 a manH120 afterwardsH310 shall findH4672 more favorH2580 than he that flattersH2505 with the tongue.H3956
24
Whoever robsH1497 his fatherH1 or his mother,H517 and said,H559 It is noH369 transgression;H6588 the sameH1931 is the companionH2270 of a destroyer.H7843
25
He that is of a proudH7342 heartH5315 stirsH1624 up strife:H4066 but he that puts his trustH982 in the LORDH3068 shall be made fat.H1878
26
He that trustsH982 in his own heartH3820 is a fool:H3684 but whoever walksH1980 wisely,H2451 he shall be delivered.H4422
27
He that givesH5414 to the poorH7326 shall not lack:H4270 but he that hidesH5956 his eyesH5869 shall have manyH7227 a curse.H3994
28
When the wickedH7563 rise,H6965 menH120 hideH5641 themselves: but when they perish,H6 the righteousH6662 increase.H7235
