Proverbs 28:13-23

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.

²⁰A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.

²¹To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.

²²A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.

²³He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
