Proverbs 28:14-26

¹⁴Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.

¹⁶A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.

¹⁷A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.

¹⁸He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

¹⁹He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.

²⁰A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.

²¹He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.

²²A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.

²³He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.

²⁴He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.

²⁵He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.

²⁶He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
