Proverbs 28:3-28 - ESV - A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating ...

3 ¹A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.

4 Those who forsake the law ²praise the wicked, but those who keep the law ³strive against them.

5 Evil men ⁴do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD ⁵ understand it completely.

6 ⁶Better is a poor man who ⁷walks in his integrity than a rich man who is ⁸crooked in his ways.

7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but ⁹a companion of gluttons shames his father.

8 Whoever multiplies his wealth ¹⁰by interest and profit^a ¹¹gathers it for him who is ¹²generous to the poor.

9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his ¹³prayer is an abomination.

10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way ¹⁴will fall into his own pit, but the blameless ¹⁵will have a goodly inheritance.

11 A rich man is wise in his ¹⁶own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding ¹⁷will find him out.

12 When ¹⁸the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when ¹⁹the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

13 Whoever ²⁰conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who ²¹confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

14 Blessed is the one who ²²fears the LORD always, but whoever ²³hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

15 Like ²⁴a roaring lion or ²⁵a charging bear is ²⁶a wicked ruler over a poor people.

16 A ruler who ²⁷lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

17 If one is burdened with ²⁸the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death;^b let no one help him.

18 ²⁹Whoever ³⁰walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.

19 ³¹Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich ³²will not go unpunished.

21 To show ³³partiality is not good, but for ³⁴a piece of bread a man will do wrong.

22 A ³⁵stingy man^c³⁶hastens after wealth and does not know that ³⁷poverty will come upon him.

23 Whoever ³⁸rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than ³⁹he who flatters with his tongue.

24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, "That is no transgression," is ⁴⁰a companion to a man who destroys.

25 A greedy man ⁴¹stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the LORD will ⁴²be enriched.

26 Whoever ⁴³trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

27 Whoever ⁴⁴gives to the poor will not want, but he who ⁴⁵hides his eyes will get many a curse.

28 When ⁴⁶the wicked rise, ⁴⁷people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
