Part 30

20:028:015 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

20:028:016 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

20:028:017 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

20:028:018 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

20:028:019 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20:028:020 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

20:028:021 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

20:028:022 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

20:028:023 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

20:028:024 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

20:028:025 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

20:028:026 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

20:028:027 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

20:028:028 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

20:029:001 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

20:029:002 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

20:029:003 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

20:029:004 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

20:029:005 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.

20:029:006 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.

20:029:007 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

20:029:008 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.

20:029:009 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.

20:029:010 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

20:029:011 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

20:029:012 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

20:029:013 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.

20:029:014 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
