The wicked{H7563} flee{H5127} when no man pursueth;{H7291} But the righteous{H6662} are bold{H982} as a lion.{H3715}

For the transgression{H6588} of a land{H776} many{H7227} are the princes{H8269} thereof; But by men{H120} of understanding{H995} [and] knowledge{H3045} the state{H3651} [thereof] shall be prolonged.{H748}

A needy{H7326} man{H1397} that oppresseth{H6231} the poor{H1800} Is [like] a sweeping{H5502} rain{H4306} which leaveth no food.{H3899}

They that forsake{H5800} the law{H8451} praise{H1984} the wicked;{H7563} But such as keep{H8104} the law{H8451} contend{H1624} with them.

Evil{H7451} men{H582} understand{H995} not justice;{H4941} But they that seek{H1245} Jehovah{H3068} understand{H995} all things.

Better{H2896} is the poor{H7326} that walketh{H1980} in his integrity,{H8537} Than he that is perverse{H6141} in [his] ways,{H1870} though he be rich.{H6223}

Whoso keepeth{H5341} the law{H8451} is a wise{H995} son;{H1121} But he that is a companion{H7462} of gluttons{H2151} shameth{H3637} his father.{H1}

He that augmenteth{H7235} his substance{H1952} by interest{H5392} and increase,{H8636} Gathereth{H6908} it for him that hath pity{H2603} on the poor.{H1800}

He that turneth away{H5493} his ear{H241} from hearing{H8085} the law,{H8451} Even his prayer{H8605} is an abomination.{H8441}

Whoso causeth the upright{H3477} to go astray{H7686} in an evil{H7451} way,{H1870} He shall fall{H5307} himself into his own pit;{H7816} But the perfect{H8549} shall inherit{H5157} good.{H2896}

The rich{H6223} man{H376} is wise{H2450} in his own conceit;{H5869} But the poor{H1800} that hath understanding{H995} searcheth him out.{H2713}

When the righteous{H6662} triumph,{H5970} there is great{H7227} glory;{H8597} But when the wicked{H7563} rise,{H6965} men{H120} hide{H2664} themselves.

He that covereth{H3680} his transgressions{H6588} shall not prosper:{H6743} But whoso confesseth{H3034} and forsaketh{H5800} them shall obtain mercy.{H7355}

Happy{H835} is the man{H120} that feareth{H6342} alway;{H8548} But he that hardeneth{H7185} his heart{H3820} shall fall{H5307} into mischief.{H7451}

[ As] a roaring{H5098} lion,{H738} and a ranging{H8264} bear,{H1677} [So is] a wicked{H7563} ruler{H4910} over a poor{H1800} people.{H5971}

The prince{H5057} that lacketh{H2638} understanding{H8394} is also a great{H7227} oppressor;{H4642} [But] he that hateth{H8130} covetousness{H1215} shall prolong{H748} his days.{H3117}

A man{H120} that is laden{H6231} with the blood{H1818} of any person{H5315} Shall flee{H5127} unto the pit;{H953} Let no man stay{H8551} him.

Whoso walketh{H1980} uprightly{H8549} shall be delivered;{H3467} But he that is perverse{H6140} in [his] ways{H1870} shall fall{H5307} at once.{H259}

He that tilleth{H5647} his land{H127} shall have plenty{H7646} of bread;{H3899} But he that followeth{H7291} after vain{H7386} [persons] shall have poverty enough.{H7389}

A faithful{H530} man{H376} shall abound{H7227} with blessings;{H1293} But he that maketh haste{H213} to be rich{H6238} shall not be unpunished.{H5352}

To have respect{H5234} of persons{H6440} is not good;{H2896} Neither that a man{H1397} should transgress{H6586} for a piece{H6595} of bread.{H3899}

he{H376} that hath an evil{H7451} eye{H5869} hasteth{H926} after riches,{H1952} And knoweth{H3045} not that want{H2639} shall come{H935} upon him.

He that rebuketh{H3198} a man{H120} shall afterward{H310} find{H4672} more favor{H2580} Than he that flattereth{H2505} with the tongue.{H3956}

Whoso robbeth{H1497} his father{H1} or his mother,{H517} and saith,{H559} It is no transgression,{H6588} The same is the companion{H2270} of a destroyer.{H376}

He that is of a greedy{H7342} spirit{H5315} stirreth up{H1624} strife;{H4066} But he that putteth his trust{H982} in Jehovah{H3068} shall be made fat.{H1878}

He that trusteth{H982} in his own heart{H3820} is a fool;{H3684} But whoso walketh{H1980} wisely,{H2451} he shall be delivered.{H4422}

He that giveth{H5414} unto the poor{H7326} shall not lack;{H4270} But he that hideth{H5956} his eyes{H5869} shall have many{H7227} a curse.{H3994}

When the wicked{H7563} rise,{H6965} men{H120} hide{H5641} themselves; But when they perish,{H6} the righteous{H6662} increase.{H7235}
