Proverbs 28:1-9 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.
2
When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But with wise and knowledgeable leaders, there is stability.
3
A poor person who oppresses the poor is like a pounding rain that destroys the crops.
4
To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them.
5
Evil people don't understand justice, but those who follow the LORD understand completely.
6
It is better to be poor and honest than rich and crooked.
7
Young people who obey the law are wise; those who seek out worthless companions bring shame to their parents.
8
A person who makes money by charging interest will lose it. It will end up in the hands of someone who is kind to the poor.
9
The prayers of a person who ignores the law are despised.
