Proverbs 28 - Summary

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. By the transgression of a land, its princes are many; but by a man of understanding and knowledge, stability is prolonged. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor; whoever hates unjust gain will prolong his days. Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Blessed is the one who fears the LORD always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity. Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.
