28:1  The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a young lion.
28:2  By the rebellion of the land, many are its princes, but by the man of understanding and wisdom the land shall remain stable.
28:3  A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
28:4  Those that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
28:5  Evil men do not understand judgment, but those that seek the LORD understand all things.
28:6  Better is the poor that walks in his perfection than he that is perverse in his ways, though he is rich.
28:7  Whosoever keeps the law is a wise son, but he that is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
28:8  He that by usury and unjust gain increases his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
28:9  He that turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.
28:10  Whosoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit, but the perfect shall inherit every good thing.
28:11  The rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the poor that has understanding is wiser than he.
28:12  When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, the sane man hides himself.
28:13  He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsakes them shall attain mercy.
28:14  Blessed is the man that fears God always, but he that hardens his heart shall fall into evil.
28:15  As a roaring lion and a hungry bear, so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
28:16  The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor, but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
28:17  A man that does violence to the blood of any person shall flee all the way to the grave, and no one shall sustain him.
28:18  Whosoever walks in integrity shall be saved, but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall into one of them.
28:19  He that tills his land shall be filled with bread, but he that follows after vain persons shall be filled with poverty.
28:20  The man of truth shall abound with blessings, but he that makes haste to be rich shall not be absolved.
28:21  To have respect of persons in judgment is not good; even for a piece of bread, man will transgress.
28:22  He that hastens to be rich has an evil eye and does not consider that poverty shall come upon him.
28:23  He that rebukes a man, afterwards shall find more favour than he that flatters with the tongue.
28:24  Whosoever robs his father or his mother and says, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of the destroyer.
28:25  He that is of a proud heart stirs up strife, but he that puts his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.
28:26  He that trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whosoever walks in wisdom, he shall be saved.
28:27  He that gives unto the poor shall never lack, but he that hides his eyes from the poor shall have many a curse.
28:28  When the wicked rise, sane men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous multiply.
