28:4  Those that forsake the Law praise evil and those that keep the Law strengthen their souls.
28:5  Evil men do not understand judgment, and they that seek Lord Jehovah know all good things.
28:6  The poor walks in integrity and the rich perverts his way.
28:7  He that keeps the law is an intelligent son and he that serves worthlessness shames his father.

28:22  A man with an evil eye hastens to be rich and he does not know that loss has come upon him.
28:23  He that rebukes a son of man finds more favor than he that is duplicitous with his tongue.
28:24  He that plunders his father and his mother and says, “I have no sin”, is a partner with an evil man.
28:25  The covetous man stirs up contention and he that is assured by Lord Jehovah will grow fat.
28:26  He that trusts upon his own heart is a fool and he that walks in integrity will be delivered.
28:27  He that gives to the poor will not lack it, and he that turns his eyes from the poor will increase his curse.
28:28  In the rise of the evil a son of man is hidden, and in their destruction the righteous will be multiplied.
