Proverbs 28:12-20

12When righteousH6662menrejoiceH5970, there isgreatH7227 gloryH8597: but when the wickedH7563 riseH6965, a manH120 is hiddenH2664.1

13He that coverethH3680 his sinsH6588 shall not prosperH6743: but he who confessethH3034 and forsakethH5800 them shall have mercyH7355.

14HappyH835is the manH120 that fearethH6342 alwaysH8548: but he that hardenethH7185 his heartH3820 shall fallH5307 into mischiefH7451.

15As a roaringH5098 lionH738, and a rangingH8264 bearH1677; so is a wickedH7563 rulerH4910 over the poorH1800 peopleH5971.

16The princeH5057 that lackethH2638 understandingH8394 is also a greatH7227 oppressorH4642: but he that hatethH8130 covetousnessH1215 shall prolongH748 his daysH3117.

17A manH120 that doeth violenceH6231 to the bloodH1818 of any personH5315 shall fleeH5127 to the pitH953; let no man sustainH8551 him.

18He who walkethH1980 uprightlyH8549 shall be savedH3467: but he that is perverseH6140 in his waysH1870 shall fallH5307 at onceH259.

19He that tillethH5647 his landH127 shall have plentyH7646 of breadH3899: but he that followethH7291 after vainH7386 persons shall have poverty enoughH7389.

20A faithfulH530 manH376 shall aboundH7227 with blessingsH1293: but he that maketh hasteH213 to be richH6238 shall not be innocentH5352.2
