Proverbs 28:13-27

¹³He that hideth his great trespasses, shall not be made rightful; but he that acknowledgeth and forsaketh them, shall get mercy.

¹⁴Blessed is the man, which is ever dreadful; but he that is of hard heart, shall fall into evil.

¹⁵A roaring lion, and an hungry bear, is a wicked prince on a poor people.

¹⁶A duke needy of prudence shall oppress many men by false challenge; but the days of him that hateth avarice shall be made long.

¹⁷No man sustain a man that falsely challengeth the blood of a man, if he fleeth till to the pit.

¹⁸He that goeth simply shall be safe; he that goeth by wayward ways, shall fall down at once.

¹⁹He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; he that pursueth or followeth idleness, shall be filled with neediness.

²⁰A faithful man shall be praised much; but he that hasteth to be made rich, shall not be innocent.

²¹He that knoweth a face in doom, doeth not well; this man forsaketh truth, yea, for a morsel of bread.

²²A man that hasteth to be made rich, and hath envy to other men, knoweth not that neediness shall come up on him.

²³He that reproveth a man, shall find grace afterward with him; more than he that deceiveth by flatterings of tongue.

²⁴He that withdraweth anything from his father and from his mother, and saith that this is no sin, is partner of a man-queller.

²⁵He that avaunteth himself, and alargeth, raiseth up strives; but he that hopeth in the Lord, shall be saved.

²⁶He that trusteth in his heart, is a fool; but he that goeth wisely, shall be praised.

²⁷He that giveth to a poor man, shall not be needy; he that despiseth a poor man beseeching, shall suffer neediness.
