Proverbs 28:9-17

⁹He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

¹⁰Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way, shall himself fall into his own pit; but the perfect shall inherit good.

¹¹A rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

¹²When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men conceal themselves.

¹³He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper; but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

¹⁴Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil.

¹⁵A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

¹⁶The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

¹⁷A man laden with the blood of any person, fleeth to the pit: let no man stay him.
