Proverbs 28:5-13

⁵Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.

⁶Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.

⁷He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.

⁸He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.

⁹He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.

¹⁰He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.

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.
