Proverbs 28

The Message Bible MSG

1 The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one's after them; Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions.

2 When the country is in chaos, everybody has a plan to fix it - But it takes a leader of real understanding to straighten things out.

3 The wicked who oppress the poor are like a hailstorm that beats down the harvest.

4 If you desert God's law, you're free to embrace depravity; if you love God's law, you fight for it tooth and nail.

5 Justice makes no sense to the evilminded; those who seek God know it inside and out.

6 It's better to be poor and direct than rich and crooked.

7 Practice God's law - get a reputation for wisdom; hang out with a loose crowd - embarrass your family.

8 Get as rich as you want through cheating and extortion, But eventually some friend of the poor is going to give it all back to them.

9 God has no use for the prayers of the people who won't listen to him.

10 Lead good people down a wrong path and you'll come to a bad end; do good and you'll be rewarded for it.

11 The rich think they know it all, but the poor can see right through them.

12 When good people are promoted, everything is great, but when the bad are in charge, watch out!

13 You can't whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them.

14 A tenderhearted person lives a blessed life; a hardhearted person lives a hard life.

15 Lions roar and bears charge - and the wicked lord it over the poor.

16 Among leaders who lack insight, abuse abounds, but for one who hates corruption, the future is bright.

17 A murderer haunted by guilt is doomed - there's no helping him.

18 Walk straight - live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life. Doing Great Harm in Seemingly Harmless Ways

19 Work your garden - you'll end up with plenty of food; play and party - you'll end up with an empty plate.

20 Committed and persistent work pays off; get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.

21 Playing favorites is always a bad thing; you can do great harm in seemingly harmless ways.

22 A miser in a hurry to get rich doesn't know that he'll end up broke.

23 In the end, serious reprimand is appreciated far more than bootlicking flattery.

24 Anyone who robs father and mother and says, "So, what's wrong with that?" is worse than a pirate.

25 A grasping person stirs up trouble, but trust in God brings a sense of well-being.

26 If you think you know it all, you're a fool for sure; real survivors learn wisdom from others.

27 Be generous to the poor - you'll never go hungry; shut your eyes to their needs, and run a gauntlet of curses.

28 When corruption takes over, good people go underground, but when the crooks are thrown out, it's safe to come out.

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

7 qui custodit legem filius sapiens est qui pascit comesatores confundit patrem suum

8 qui coacervat divitias usuris et fenore liberali in pauperes congregat eas

9 qui declinat aurem suam ne audiat legem oratio eius erit execrabilis

10 qui decipit iustos in via mala in interitu suo corruet et simplices possidebunt bona

11 sapiens sibi videtur vir dives pauper autem prudens scrutabitur eum

12 in exultatione iustorum multa gloria regnantibus impiis ruinae hominum

13 qui abscondit scelera sua non dirigetur qui confessus fuerit et reliquerit ea misericordiam consequetur

14 beatus homo qui semper est pavidus qui vero mentis est durae corruet in malum

15 leo rugiens et ursus esuriens princeps impius super populum pauperem

16 dux indigens prudentia multos opprimet per calumniam qui autem odit avaritiam longi fient dies eius

19 qui operatur terram suam saturabitur panibus qui sectatur otium replebitur egestate

20 vir fidelis multum laudabitur qui autem festinat ditari non erit innocens

21 qui cognoscit in iudicio faciem non facit bene iste et pro buccella panis deserit veritatem

22 vir qui festinat ditari et aliis invidet ignorat quod egestas superveniat ei

23 qui corripit hominem gratiam postea inveniet apud eum magis quam ille qui per linguae blandimenta decipit

24 qui subtrahit aliquid a patre suo et matre et dicit hoc non est peccatum particeps homicidae est

25 qui se iactat et dilatat iurgia concitat qui sperat in Domino saginabitur

26 qui confidit in corde suo stultus est qui autem graditur sapienter iste salvabitur

27 qui dat pauperi non indigebit qui despicit deprecantem sustinebit penuriam

28 cum surrexerint impii abscondentur homines cum illi perierint multiplicabuntur iusti
