Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 Den, som har dårlig samvittighed, flygter, selv når ingen er efter ham, men den, hvis samvittighed er god, holder stand som en løve. 2 Når et folk er i oprør, holder en leder ikke længe, men en klog og dygtig regent skaber ro og tryghed. 3 En ubehøvlet tyran, der undertrykker de svage, er som en haglbyge, der slår kornet ned. 4 Den, der ignorerer loven, støtter ondskaben, den, der holder fast ved loven, bekæmper det onde. 5 De onde forstår ikke, hvad retfærdighed er, men det gør de, der ønsker at gøre Guds vilje. 6 Det er bedre at være ærlig og fattig end at være rig og uhæderlig. 7 En fornuftig søn adlyder loven, men den, der føjter om med dårlige venner, er en vanære for sin far. 8 Den, som bliver rig ved at udnytte andre og kræve høje renter, mister sin rigdom til den, som er barmhjertig mod de hjælpeløse. 9 Når et menneske ignorerer Guds lov, er selv hans bønner en afskyelighed. 10 Den, der forleder andre til synd, falder i sin egen fælde, men de retsindige skal få en rig belønning. 11 En, der er rig, tror, han ved alt, men en fattig med sund fornuft ved bedre. 12 Når retfærdigheden sejrer, er der grund til fest, men når ondskaben hersker, søger folk i skjul. 13 Den, der dækker over sine fejl, får aldrig fremgang, den, der erkender dem og lover bedring, får en ny chance. 14 Velsignet er den, som har ærefrygt for Gud, den, som kun tror på sig selv, ender i store problemer. 15 Farlig som en brølende løve eller en sulten bjørn er en ondsindet hersker for det folk, han regerer. 16 En regent, der undertrykker sit folk, er en tåbe. En god leder udnytter ikke sin magt til egen fordel. 17 Den, der har mord på samvittigheden, er altid på flugt, lad være med at dække over ham. 18 Den retsindige bliver reddet, den uærlige går sin undergang i møde. 19 Den, der passer sit arbejde, har nok at spise, den, der drømmer tiden bort, må sulte. 20 Den, der er ærlig og trofast, bliver rigt belønnet, den, der uærligt bliver rig, undgår ikke straf. 21 Partiskhed i retten er altid af det onde, og nogle kan bestikkes bare med et stykke brød. 22 Den griske har kun øje for at vinde sig rigdom, han ser ikke, at det er fattigdom, der venter ham. 23 I sidste ende er en ærlig irettesættelse bedre end altid at høre på smigrende ord. 24 Den, der stjæler fra sine forældre, er ikke bedre end en simpel røver. 25 Selviskhed fører til skænderier, tillid til Herren fører til fremgang. 26 Den, der kun stoler på sig selv, er en tåbe, den, der vandrer i visdom, er tryg. 27 Den, der giver til mennesker i nød, vil altid selv have nok, den, der lukker øjnene for nøden, bliver foragtet. 28 Når et ondt menneske regerer, søger folk i dækning, når den onde styrtes, blomstrer retfærdigheden.

King James Version

1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 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. 3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things . 6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. 7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. 8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 10 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. 11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. 12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. 13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. 15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. 16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. 17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. 18 Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. 19 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. 23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. 24 Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. 25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. 26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. 27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. 28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
