Proverbs 28:12-20

12When the righteousH6662 triumphH5970, there is greatH7227 gloryH8597, but when the wickedH7563 riseH6965, menH120 hide themselvesH2664.

13He who concealsH3680 his sinsH6588 will notH3808 prosperH6743,but whoever confessesH3034 and renounces themH5800 will find mercyH7355.

14BlessedH835 is the manH120 who is alwaysH8548 reverentH6342,1but he who hardensH7185 his heartH3820 fallsH5307 into troubleH7451.

15Like a roaringH5098 lionH738 or a chargingH8264 bearH1677is a wickedH7563 rulerH4910 overH5921 a helplessH1800 peopleH5971.

16A leaderH5057 who lacksH2638 judgmentH8394 is also a greatH7227 oppressorH4642,but he who hatesH8130 dishonest profitH1215 will prolongH748 his daysH3117.

17A manH120 burdenedH6231 by bloodguiltH1818 H5315 will fleeH5127 intoH5704 the PitH953;2let no oneH408 supportH8551 him.

18He who walksH1980 with integrityH8549 will be kept safeH3467,but whoever is perverseH6140 in his waysH1870 will suddenlyH259 fallH5307.

19The one who worksH5647 his landH127 will have plenty ofH7646 foodH3899,but whoever chasesH7291 fantasiesH7386 will have his fillH7646 of povertyH7389.

20A faithfulH530 manH376 will aboundH7227 with blessingsH1293,but one eagerH213 to be richH6238 will notH3808 go unpunishedH5352.
