Proverbs 28:1-6

28:1

The wicked
<07563>

flee
<05127> (8804)

when no man pursueth
<07291> (8802)_:

but the righteous
<06662>

are bold
<0982> (8799)

as a lion
<03715>_.

28:2

For the transgression
<06588>

of a land
<0776>

many
<07227>

[are] the princes
<08269>

thereof: but by a man
<0120>

of understanding
<0995> (8688)

[and] knowledge
<03045> (8802)

the state
<03651>

[thereof] shall be prolonged
<0748> (8686)_.

{by...: or, by men of understanding and wisdom shall they likewise be prolonged}

28:3

A poor
<07326> (8802)

man
<01397>

that oppresseth
<06231> (8802)

the poor
<01800>

[is like] a sweeping
<05502> (8802)

rain
<04306>

which leaveth no food
<03899>_.

{which...: Heb. without food}

28:4

They that forsake
<05800> (8802)

the law
<08451>

praise
<01984> (8762)

the wicked
<07563>_:

but such as keep
<08104> (8802)

the law
<08451>

contend
<01624> (8691)

with them.

28:5

Evil
<07451>

men
<0582>

understand
<0995> (8799)

not judgment
<04941>_:

but they that seek
<01245> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>

understand
<0995> (8799)

all [things].

28:6

Better
<02896>

[is] the poor
<07326> (8802)

that walketh
<01980> (8802)

in his uprightness
<08537>_,

than [he that is] perverse
<06141>

[in his] ways
<01870>_,

though he [be] rich
<06223>_.
