Proverbs 28

28The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.H7563H5127H7291H6662H982H37152When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.H6588H776H7227H8269H120H995H3045H3651H7483A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.H7326H1397H6231H1800H5502H4306H38994Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them.H5800H8451H1984H7563H8104H8451H16245Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.H7451H582H995H4941H1245H3068H9956Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.H2896H7326H1980H8537H6141H1870H62237The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father.H5341H8451H995H1121H7462H2151H3637H18Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.H5392H8636H7235H1952H6908H2603H18009If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.H5493H241H8085H8451H8605H844110Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.H3477H7686H7451H1870H5307H7816H8549H2896H515711A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.H6223H376H2450H5869H1800H995H271312When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.H6662H5970H7227H8597H7563H6965H120H266413Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.H3680H6588H6743H3034H5800H735514Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.H835H120H6342H8548H7185H3820H5307H745115Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.H5098H738H8264H1677H7563H4910H1800H597116A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.H5057H2638H8394H7227H4642H8130H1215H748H311717If one is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.H120H6231H1818H5315H5127H953H855118Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.H1980H8549H3467H6140H1870H5307H25919Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.H5647H127H7646H3899H7291H7386H738920A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.H530H376H7227H1293H213H6238H535221To show partiality is not good, but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong.H5234H6440H2896H6595H3899H1397H658622A stingy man hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him.H376H926H1952H7451H5869H3045H2639H93523Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue.H3198H120H310H4672H2580H2505H395624Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, "That is no transgression," is a companion to a man who destroys.H1497H1H517H559H6588H2270H376H784325A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the LORD will be enriched.H7342H5315H1624H4066H982H3068H187826Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.H982H3820H3684H1980H2451H442227Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.H5414H7326H4270H5956H5869H7227H399428When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.H7563H6965H120H5641H6H6662H7235

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
