来自{publisher}1The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. (利26:8; 利26:17; 撒上17:32; 诗53:5)2When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue. (王上15:27; 王上16:8; 王下15:8)3A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food. (太18:28)4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them. (王上18:18; 王上18:21; 尼13:11; 尼13:15; 诗10:3; 太3:7; 太14:4; 羅1:32; 弗5:11)5Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely. (诗92:6; 诗119:100; 约7:17; 约12:39; 林前2:15; 雅1:5; 约一2:20; 约一2:27)6Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. (箴19:1; 箴28:18)7The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father. (箴23:20; 箴29:3)8Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit[1] gathers it for him who is generous to the poor. (出22:25; 利25:36; 伯27:17; 箴14:31)9If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. (诗109:7; 箴15:8)10Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance. (诗7:15; 太6:33)11A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out. (伯13:9; 箴26:5; 箴26:16)12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves. (箴11:10; 箴28:28; 箴29:2; 传10:5)13Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (伯31:33; 诗32:3; 诗32:5; 约一1:8; 约一1:9)14Blessed is the one who fears the Lord[2] always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity. (诗95:8; 箴23:17; 赛66:2; 腓2:12)15Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. (出1:14; 出1:16; 出1:22; 王下2:24; 箴19:12; 太2:16; 彼前5:8)16A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. (箴6:32)17If one is burdened with the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death;[3] let no one help him. (创9:6)18Whoever walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall. (箴3:23; 箴10:9; 箴28:6)19Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty. (箴12:11)20A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished. (箴16:5)21To show partiality is not good, but for a piece of bread a man will do wrong. (箴18:5; 结13:19)22A stingy man[4] hastens after wealth and does not know that poverty will come upon him. (箴22:16; 箴23:6; 箴28:20)23Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue. (箴27:5; 箴29:5)24Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “That is no transgression,” is a companion to a man who destroys. (箴18:9)25A greedy man stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will be enriched. (箴11:25; 箴13:4; 箴15:18)26Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. (林前3:18)27Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse. (箴11:24; 箴19:17; 箴29:7)28When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase. (伯24:4; 箴28:12)
