Proverbs 28:12-20

12When the righteousH6662 triumphH5970, there is greatH7227 gloryH8597: but when the wickedH7563 riseH6965, menH120 hideH2664 themselves.

13He that covereth his transgressionsH6588 shall notH3808 prosperH6743: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercyH7355.

14HappyH835 is the manH120 that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heartH3820 shall fallH5307 intoH5307 mischief.

15As a roaringH5098 lionH738, and a ranging bearH1677; soH5921 is a wickedH7563 rulerH4910 over a poorH1800 peopleH5971.

16The princeH5057 that lacketh understandingH8394 is also a greatH7227 oppressorH4642: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolongH748 his daysH3117.

17A manH120 that is ladenH6231 with the bloodH1818 of anyH120 personH5315 shall fleeH5127 unto the pitH953; letH408 noH408 manH120 stay him.

18Whoso walketh uprightlyH8549 shall be deliveredH3467: but he that is perverse in his waysH1870 shall fallH5307 at onceH259.

19He that tilleth his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of breadH3899: but he that followeth afterH7291 vain persons shall have povertyH7389 enoughH7646.

20A faithfulH530 manH376 shall abound with blessingsH1293: but he that maketh hasteH213 to be richH6238 shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352.
