Proverbs 28

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth;2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof;3 A needy man that oppresseth the poor4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked;5 Evil men understand not justice;6 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son;8 He that augmenteth his substance by interest and increase,9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law,10 Whoso causeth the upright to go astray in an evil way,11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit;12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory;13 He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway;15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,16 The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor;17 A man that is laden with the blood of any person18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be delivered;19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread;20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings;21 To have respect of persons is not good;22 he that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches,23 He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression,25 He that is of a greedy spirit stirreth up strife;26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool;27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack;28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;

Proverbs 29

1 He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck2 When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice;3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father;4 The king by justice establisheth the land;5 A man that flattereth his neighbor6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare;7 The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor;8 Scoffers set a city in a flame;9 If a wise man hath a controversy with a foolish man,10 The bloodthirsty hate him that is perfect;11 A fool uttereth all his anger;12 If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood,13 The poor man and the oppressor meet together;14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor,15 The rod and reproof give wisdom;16 When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth;17 Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest;18 Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint;19 A servant will not be corrected by words;20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words?21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child22 An angry man stirreth up strife,23 A man’s pride shall bring him low;24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul;25 The fear of man bringeth a snare;26 Many seek the ruler’s favor;27 An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous;

Proverbs 30

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh; The oracle.

2 Surely I am more brutish than any man,3 And I have not learned wisdom,4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended?5 Every word of God is tried:6 Add thou not unto his words,7 Two things have I asked of thee;8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies;9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Jehovah?10 Slander not a servant unto his master,11 There is a generation that curse their father,12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!14 There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives,15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.16 Sheol; and the barren womb;17 The eye that mocketh at his father,18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me,19 The way of an eagle in the air;20 So is the way of an adulterous woman;21 For three things the earth doth tremble,22 For a servant when he is king;23 For an odious woman when she is married;24 There are four things which are little upon the earth,25 The ants are a people not strong,26 The conies are but a feeble folk,27 The locusts have no king,28 The lizard taketh hold with her hands,29 There are three things which are stately in their march,30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts,31 The greyhound; the he-goat also;32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
