de Biblica1El malvado huye sin que nadie lo persiga; pero el justo vive confiado como león.2Cuando hay rebelión en un país se multiplican sus dirigentes; pero el gobernante con sabiduría y entendimiento mantiene el orden.3El gobernante que oprime a los pobres, es como tormenta que acaba con la cosecha.4Los que abandonan la ley alaban al malvado; los que la cumplen luchan contra él.5Los malvados no comprenden la justicia, pero los que siguen al SEÑOR entienden todo.6Es mejor ser pobre y honrado que rico y perverso.7El que obedece la ley es un hijo inteligente, pero el que anda con libertinos es vergüenza para su padre.8El que aumenta su riqueza cobrando intereses, la aumenta para el que se compadece de los pobres.9El que no presta atención a la ley aun sus oraciones son detestables.10El que lleva al justo por el camino del pecado, caerá en su propia trampa; pero los intachables heredarán el bien.11El rico es sabio en su propia opinión, pero el pobre e inteligente lo ve como realmente es.12Cuando los justos prosperan, todos se alegran, cuando los malvados triunfan, todos se esconden.13El que disimula su pecado no prosperará; pero el que lo confiesa y lo deja, obtendrá misericordia.14Dichoso el hombre que honra al SEÑOR, pero el que endurece su corazón caerá en desgracia.15El gobernante malvado es tan peligroso para los pobres como el león rugiente o el oso hambriento.16El gobernante que no tiene entendimiento oprimirá a su pueblo; pero el que no es avaro tendrá larga vida.17El asesino atormentado por su sentimiento de culpa, será un fugitivo hasta que muera. ¡Que nadie lo apoye!18El que es honesto estará a salvo, pero el perverso será destruido.19El que trabaja su tierra tendrá comida en abundancia; el que pierde el tiempo tendrá pobreza en abundancia.20El hombre fiel recibirá bendiciones; pero el que busca enriquecerse rápidamente no quedará sin castigo.21No está bien ser parcial con nadie; hasta por un pedazo de pan se puede pecar.22El ambicioso trata de enriquecerse rápidamente, pero eso lo conduce a la pobreza.23Finalmente la gente estima más la crítica que la alabanza.24El que roba a su padre o a su madre y dice: «¿Qué hay de malo en eso?», es amigo de criminales.25La codicia provoca peleas; la confianza en el SEÑOR lleva a la prosperidad.26El que confía en sí mismo es un necio; el que actúa con sabiduría estará a salvo.27El que ayuda al pobre no conocerá la pobreza; el que le niega su ayuda será maldecido.28Cuando los malvados triunfan, la gente se esconde; cuando los malvados caen, los justos prosperan.
