Warnings and Instructions

  1 The wicked° aflee° when no° one° is pursuing°,
  But the righteous° are Ibold° as a lion°.
  2 By the transgression° of a land° amany° are its princes°,
  But bby a man° of understanding° [and] knowledge°, so° it endures°.
  3 A apoor° man° who oppresses° the lowly°
  Is [like] a driving° rain° Iwhich leaves° no° food°.
  4 Those who forsake° the law° apraise° the wicked°,
  But those who keep° the law° bstrive° with them.
  5 Evil° men° ado not understand° justice°,
  But those who seek° the LORD° bunderstand° all° things°.
  6 aBetter° is the poor° who walks° in his integrity°
  Than° he who is Icrooked°° though he be rich°.
  7 He who keeps° the law° is a discerning° son°,
  But he who is a companion° of agluttons° humiliates° his father°.
  8 He who increases° his wealth° by ainterest° and usury°
  Gathers° it bfor him who is gracious° to the poor°.
  9 He who turns° away° his ear° from listening° to the law°,
  Even° his aprayer° is an abomination°.
  10 He who leads° the upright° astray° in an evil° way°
  Will ahimself° fall° into his own pit°,
  But the bblameless° will inherit° good°.
  11 The rich° man° is awise° in his own eyes°,
  But the poor° who has° understanding° Isees° through° him.
  12 When the arighteous° triumph°, there is great° glory°,
  But bwhen the wicked° rise°, men° Ihide° themselves.
  13 He who aconceals° his transgressions° will not prosper°,
  But he who bconfesses° and forsakes° [them] will find° compassion°.
  14 How blessed° is the man° who afears° always°,
  But he who bhardens° his heart° will fall° into calamity°.
  15 [Like] a aroaring° lion° and a rushing° bear°
  Is a bwicked° ruler° over° a poor° people°.
  16 A aleader° who is a great° oppressor° lacks° understanding°,
  [But] he who hates° unjust° gain° will prolong° [his] days°.
  17 A man° who is aladen° with the guilt of human° blood°
  Will Ibe a fugitive° until° death°; let no° one support° him.
  18 He who walks° blamelessly° will be delivered°,
  But he who is I acrooked°° will fall° all° at once°.
  19 aHe who tills° his land° will bhave° plenty° of food°,
  But he who follows° empty° [pursuits] will have° poverty° in plenty°.
  20 A afaithful° man° will abound° with blessings°,
  But he who bmakes° haste° to be rich° will not go° unpunished°.
  21 To I ashow° partiality°° is not good°,
  bBecause° for a piece° of bread° a man° will transgress°.
  22 A man° with an aevil° eye° bhastens° after wealth°
  And does not know° that want° will come° upon him.
  23 He who arebukes° a man° will afterward° find° [more] favor°
  Than° he who bflatters° with the tongue°.
  24 He who arobs° his father° or his mother°
  And says°, “It is not a transgression°,”
  Is the bcompanion° of a man° who destroys°.
  25 An Iarrogant° man astirs° up strife°,
  But he who btrusts° in the LORD° cwill IIprosper°.
  26 He who atrusts° in his own heart° is a fool°,
  But he who walks° wisely° will be delivered°.
  27 He who agives° to the poor° will never° want°,
  But he who Ishuts° his eyes° will have many° curses°.
  28 When the wicked° rise°, men° hide° themselves;
  But when they perish°, the righteous° increase°.

General observations of impiety and religious integrity.

1 ¶ The wickedº fleeº ª when no² man pursueth:º ª but the righteousº are boldº ª as a lion.º 2 For the transgressionº of a landº manyº [are] the princesº thereof: but by a manº of understandingº ª [and] knowledgeº ª the stateº [thereof] shall be prolonged.º ª 3 A poorº ª manº that oppressethº ª the poorº [is like] a sweepingº ª rainº which leaveth no² food.º 4 They that forsakeº ª the lawº praiseº ª the wicked:º but such as keepº ª the lawº contendº ª with them. 5 Evilº men¹ ² understandº ª not² judgment:º but they that seekº ª the LORDº understandº ª all² [things]. 6 Betterº [is] the poorº ª that walkethº ª in his uprightness,º than [he that is] perverseº ² [in his] ways,º though he² [be] rich.º 7 Whoso keepethº ª the lawº [is] a wiseº ª son:º but he that is a companionº ª of riotousº ª [men] shamethº ª his father.º 8 He that by usuryº and unjust gainº increasethº ª his substance,º he shall gatherº ª it for him that will pityº ª the poor.º 9 He that turneth awayº ª his earº from hearingº ª ² the law,º even² his prayerº [shall be] abomination.º 10 Whoso causeth the righteousº to go astrayº ª in an evilº way,º he shall fallº ª himself² into his own pit:º but the uprightº shall have goodº [things] in possession.º ª 11 The richº manº [is] wiseº in his own conceit;º but the poorº that hath understandingº ª searcheth him out.º ª 12 When righteousº [men] do rejoice,º ª [there is] greatº glory:º but when the wickedº rise,º ª a manº is hidden.º ª 13 He that coverethº ª his sinsº shall not² prosper:º ª but whoso confessethº ª and forsakethº ª [them] shall have mercy.º ª 14 Happyº [is] the manº that fearethº ª alway:º but he that hardenethº ª his heartº shall fallº ª into mischief.º 15 [As] a roaringº ª lion,º and a rangingº ª bear;º [so is] a wickedº rulerº ª over² the poorº people.º 16 The princeº that wantethº understandingº [is] also a greatº oppressor:º [but] he that hatethº ª covetousnessº shall prolongº ª [his] days.º 17 A manº that doeth violenceº ª to the bloodº of [any] personº shall fleeº ª to² the pit;º let no² man stayº ª him. 18 Whoso walkethº ª uprightlyº shall be saved:º ª but [he that is] perverseº ª [in his] waysº shall fallº ª at once.º 19 He that tillethº ª his landº shall have plentyº ª of bread:º but he that followethº ª after vainº [persons] shall have poverty² enough.¹ ² 20 A faithfulº manº shall aboundº with blessings:º but he that maketh hasteº ª to be richº ª shall not² be innocent.º ª 21 To have respectº ª of personsº [is] not² good:º for for² a pieceº of breadº [that] manº will transgress.º ª 22 Heº that hastethº ª to be richº [hath] an evilº eye,º and considerethº ª not² that² povertyº shall come¹ ª upon² him. 23 He that rebukethº ª a manº afterwardsº shall findº ª more favourº than he that flatterethº ª ² with the tongue.º 24 Whoso robbethº ª his fatherº or his mother,º and saith,º ª [It is] no² transgression;º the same² [is] the companionº of a destroyer.º º ª 25 He that is of a proudº heartº stirreth upº ª strife:º but he that putteth his trustº ª in² the LORDº shall be made fat.º ª 26 He² that trustethº ª in his own heartº is a fool:º but whoso walkethº ª wisely,º he² shall be delivered.º ª 27 He that givethº ª unto the poorº ª shall not² lack:º but he that hidethº ª his eyesº shall have manyº a curse.º 28 When the wickedº rise,º ª menº hide¹ ª themselves:² but when they perish,º ª the righteousº increase.º ª
