Proverbs 28:16-25

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.

²⁴Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.

²⁵He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
