Proverbs 28:11-19

¹¹The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.

¹²When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.

¹³He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.

¹⁴Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.

¹⁵As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.

¹⁶A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.

¹⁷A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.

¹⁸He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.

¹⁹He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
