Proverbs 28:1-6

1 fugit impius nemine persequente iustus autem quasi leo confidens absque terrore erit

2 propter peccata terrae multi principes eius et propter hominis sapientiam et horum scientiam quae dicuntur vita ducis longior erit

3 vir pauper calumnians pauperes similis imbri vehementi in quo paratur fames

4 qui derelinquunt legem laudant impium qui custodiunt succenduntur contra eum

5 viri mali non cogitant iudicium qui autem requirunt Dominum animadvertunt omnia

6 melior est pauper ambulans in simplicitate sua quam dives pravis itineribus
