Proverbs 28

The Latin Vulgate VUL

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

17 hominem qui calumniatur animae sanguinem si usque ad lacum fugerit nemo sustentet

18 qui ambulat simpliciter salvus erit qui perversis ingreditur viis concidet semel

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 The wicked run when no one is chasing them, but an honest person is as brave as a lion.

2 When a nation sins, it will have one ruler after another. But a nation will be strong and endure when it has intelligent, sensible leaders.

3 Someone in authority who oppresses poor people is like a driving rain that destroys the crops.

4 If you have no regard for the law, you are on the side of the wicked; but if you obey it, you are against them.

5 Evil people do not know what justice is, but those who worship the Lord understand it well.

6 Better to be poor and honest than rich and dishonest.

7 Young people who obey the law are intelligent. Those who make friends with good-for-nothings are a disgrace to their parents.

8 If you get rich by charging interest and taking advantage of people, your wealth will go to someone who is kind to the poor.

9 If you do not obey the law, God will find your prayers too hateful to hear.

10 If you trick an honest person into doing evil, you will fall into your own trap. The innocent will be well rewarded.

11 Rich people always think they are wise, but a poor person who has insight into character knows better.

12 When good people come to power, everybody celebrates, but when bad people rule, people stay in hiding.

13 You will never succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you.

14 Always obey the Lord and you will be happy. If you are stubborn, you will be ruined.

15 Poor people are helpless against a wicked ruler; he is as dangerous as a growling lion or a prowling bear.

16 A ruler without good sense will be a cruel tyrant. One who hates dishonesty will rule a long time.

17 Someone guilty of murder is digging his own grave as fast as he can. Don't try to stop him.

18 Be honest and you will be safe. If you are dishonest, you will suddenly fall.

19 A hard-working farmer has plenty to eat. People who waste time will always be poor.

20 Honest people will lead a full, happy life. But if you are in a hurry to get rich, you are going to be punished.

21 Prejudice is wrong. But some judges will do wrong to get even the smallest bribe.

22 Selfish people are in such a hurry to get rich that they do not know when poverty is about to strike.

23 Correct someone, and afterward he will appreciate it more than flattery.

24 Anyone who thinks it isn't wrong to steal from his parents is no better than a common thief.

25 Selfishness only causes trouble. You are much better off to trust the Lord.

26 It is foolish to follow your own opinions. Be safe, and follow the teachings of wiser people.

27 Give to the poor and you will never be in need. If you close your eyes to the poor, many people will curse you.

28 People stay in hiding when the wicked come to power. But when they fall from power, the righteous will rule again.
