Proverbs 28:1-9

1 The wicked run away even though no one pursues them, but the righteous are as confident as a lion.
2 When a land rebels, there are many leaders; but a person with understanding brings order.
3 Poor people who oppress the needy are rain that washes away food.
4 Those who abandon Instruction praise the wicked, but those who follow Instruction battle them.
5 Evil people don't understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand everything.
6 Better to be poor and walk in innocence than to be on crooked paths and wealthy.
7 Intelligent children follow Instruction, but those who befriend gluttons shame their parents.
8 Those who become rich through high interest rates gather money for those who are generous to the poor.
9 Those who turn their ears from hearing Instruction— even their prayers will be detested.
