Proverbs Chapter 28 Verse 6Better [is] the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than [he that is] perverse [in his] ways, though he [be] rich.

Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, [and] look well to thy herds.

For riches [are] not for ever: and doth the crown [endure] to every generation?

The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

The lambs [are] for thy clothing, and the goats [are] the price of the field.

And [thou shalt have] goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and [for] the maintenance for thy maidens.

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

For the transgression of a land many [are] the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding [and] knowledge the state [thereof] shall be prolonged.

A poor man that oppresseth the poor [is like] a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all [things].

Whoso keepeth the law [is] a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous [men] shameth his father.

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination.

Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good [things] in possession.

The rich man [is] wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

When righteous [men] do rejoice, [there is] great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.

Happy [is] the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

[As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; [so is] a wicked ruler over the poor people.

The prince that wanteth understanding [is] also a great oppressor: [but] he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.
