Proverbs 28 (KJV)   The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous 
are bold as a lion. {2} For the transgression of a land many are the princes 
thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall 
be prolonged. {3} A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain 
which leaveth no food. {4} They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but 
such as keep the law contend with them. {5} Evil men understand not judgment: 
but they that seek the LORD understand all things. {6} Better is the poor that 
walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be 
rich. {7} Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of 
riotous men shameth his father. {8} He that by usury and unjust gain 
increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 
{9} He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall 
be abomination. {10} Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, 
he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things 
in possession. {11} The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that 
hath understanding searcheth him out. {12} When righteous men do rejoice, 
there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. {13} He that 
covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them 
shall have mercy. {14} Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that 
hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. {15} As a roaring lion, and a 
ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. {16} The prince that 
wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth 
covetousness shall prolong his days. {17} A man that doeth violence to the 
blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. {18} Whoso 
walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall 
fall at once. {19} He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he 
that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. {20} A faithful 
man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not 
be innocent. {21} To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of 
bread that man will transgress. {22} He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil 
eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. {23} He that 
rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with 
the tongue. {24} Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no 
transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. {25} He that is of a 
proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD 
shall be made fat. {26} He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso 
walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. {27} He that giveth unto the poor shall 
not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. {28} When the 
wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous 
increase.
