1
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2
When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, the state thereof will be prolonged.
3
A poor man who oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no crops.
4
Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law contend with them.
5
Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand it fully.
6
Better is the poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his ways.
7
He who keeps the law is a wise son, but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8
He who increases his wealth by usury and extortion gathers it for him who has pity on the poor.
9
He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10
Whoever causes the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he himself will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit good.
11
The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but the poor man who has understanding sees through him.
12
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked prevail, men hide themselves.
13
He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find mercy.
14
Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
15
Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16
A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, but he who hates ill-gotten gain will prolong his days.
17
If a man is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death; let no one help him.
18
He who walks blamelessly will be saved, but he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.
19
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who chases empty pursuits will have poverty enough.
20
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
21
To show partiality is not good, but for a piece of bread will a man transgress.
22
He who hastens to be rich has an evil eye, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
23
He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue.
24
He who robs his father or his mother and says, “It is no transgression,” is a companion to a destroyer.
25
He who is greedy stirs up strife, but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.
26
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
27
He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will receive many curses.
28
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.
