Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 28
The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon. Lev 26:36; Deu 28:25For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long. Pro 29:8A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode. They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them. Isa 5:20Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things. Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche. Pro 19:1He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father. Pro 29:3He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore. Job 27:16He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable. Job 27:8He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things. Pro 26:27The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him. When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried. Pro 29:2He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy. Psa 32:5; 1Jn 1:9Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill. Job 3:25; Rom 11:20As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people. A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes. A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him. He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall. He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie. Pro 12:11A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent. Pro 20:21To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread. Pro 18:5; Pro 24:23A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him. 1Ti 6:9He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue. Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth. Mat 15:5He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte. Pro 13:10Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered. He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses. Deu 15:7; 2Co 9:9When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
