Proverbs Chapter 28 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The wicked <H7563> flee <H5127> when no man pursueth: <H7291> but the righteous <H6662> are bold <H0982> as a lion. <H3715>
2: For the transgression <H6588> of a land <H0776> many <H7227> [are] the princes <H8269> thereof: but by a man <H0120> of understanding <H0995> [and] knowledge <H3045> the state <H3651> [thereof] shall be prolonged. <H0748>
3: A poor <H7326> man <H1397> that oppresseth <H6231> the poor <H1800> [is like] a sweeping <H5502> rain <H4306> which leaveth no food. <H3899>
4: They that forsake <H5800> the law <H8451> praise <H1984> the wicked: <H7563> but such as keep <H8104> the law <H8451> contend <H1624> with them.
5: Evil <H7451> men <H0582> understand <H0995> not judgment: <H4941> but they that seek <H1245> the LORD <H3068> understand <H0995> all [things].
6: Better <H2896> [is] the poor <H7326> that walketh <H1980> in his uprightness, <H8537> than [he that is] perverse <H6141> [in his] ways, <H1870> though he [be] rich. <H6223>
7: Whoso keepeth <H5341> the law <H8451> [is] a wise <H0995> son: <H1121> but he that is a companion <H7462> of riotous <H2151> [men] shameth <H3637> his father. <H0001>
8: He that by usury <H5392> and unjust gain <H8636> increaseth <H7235> his substance, <H1952> he shall gather <H6908> it for him that will pity <H2603> the poor. <H1800>
9: He that turneth away <H5493> his ear <H0241> from hearing <H8085> the law, <H8451> even his prayer <H8605> [shall be] abomination. <H8441>
10: Whoso causeth the righteous <H3477> to go astray <H7686> in an evil <H7451> way, <H1870> he shall fall <H5307> himself into his own pit: <H7816> but the upright <H8549> shall have good <H2896> [things] in possession. <H5157>
11: The rich <H6223> man <H0376> [is] wise <H2450> in his own conceit; <H5869> but the poor <H1800> that hath understanding <H0995> searcheth him out. <H2713>
12: When righteous <H6662> [men] do rejoice, <H5970> [there is] great <H7227> glory: <H8597> but when the wicked <H7563> rise, <H6965> a man <H0120> is hidden. <H2664>
13: He that covereth <H3680> his sins <H6588> shall not prosper: <H6743> but whoso confesseth <H3034> and forsaketh <H5800> [them] shall have mercy. <H7355>
14: Happy <H0835> [is] the man <H0120> that feareth <H6342> alway: <H8548> but he that hardeneth <H7185> his heart <H3820> shall fall <H5307> into mischief. <H7451>
15: [As] a roaring <H5098> lion, <H0738> and a ranging <H8264> bear; <H1677> [so is] a wicked <H7563> ruler <H4910> over the poor <H1800> people. <H5971>
16: The prince <H5057> that wanteth <H2638> understanding <H8394> [is] also a great <H7227> oppressor: <H4642> [but] he that hateth <H8130> covetousness <H1215> shall prolong <H0748> [his] days. <H3117>
17: A man <H0120> that doeth violence <H6231> to the blood <H1818> of [any] person <H5315> shall flee <H5127> to the pit; <H0953> let no man stay <H8551> him.
18: Whoso walketh <H1980> uprightly <H8549> shall be saved: <H3467> but [he that is] perverse <H6140> [in his] ways <H1870> shall fall <H5307> at once. <H0259>
19: He that tilleth <H5647> his land <H0127> shall have plenty <H7646> of bread: <H3899> but he that followeth <H7291> after vain <H7386> [persons] shall have poverty <H7389> enough. <H7646>
20: A faithful <H0530> man <H0376> shall abound <H7227> with blessings: <H1293> but he that maketh haste <H0213> to be rich <H6238> shall not be innocent. <H5352>
21: To have respect <H5234> of persons <H6440> [is] not good: <H2896> for for a piece <H6595> of bread <H3899> [that] man <H1397> will transgress. <H6586>
22: He <H0376> that hasteth <H0926> to be rich <H1952> [hath] an evil <H7451> eye, <H5869> and considereth <H3045> not that poverty <H2639> shall come <H0935> upon him.
23: He that rebuketh <H3198> a man <H0120> afterwards <H0310> shall find <H4672> more favour <H2580> than he that flattereth <H2505> with the tongue. <H3956>
24: Whoso robbeth <H1497> his father <H0001> or his mother, <H0517> and saith, <H0559> [It is] no transgression; <H6588> the same [is] the companion <H2270> of a destroyer. <H0376> <H7843>
25: He that is of a proud <H7342> heart <H5315> stirreth up <H1624> strife: <H4066> but he that putteth his trust <H0982> in the LORD <H3068> shall be made fat. <H1878>
26: He that trusteth <H0982> in his own heart <H3820> is a fool: <H3684> but whoso walketh <H1980> wisely, <H2451> he shall be delivered. <H4422>
27: 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>
28: When the wicked <H7563> rise, <H6965> men <H0120> hide <H5641> themselves: but when they perish, <H0006> the righteous <H6662> increase. <H7235>
