Proverbs
Chapters 28:16-22
New International Version Anglicized
16A tyrannical ruler practises extortion,but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
17Anyone tormented by the guilt of murderwill seek refuge in the grave;let no one hold them back.
18The one whose way of life is blameless is kept safe,but the one whose ways are perverse will fall into the pit.
19Those who work their land will have abundant food,but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.
20A faithful person will be richly blessed,but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.
21To show partiality is not good –yet a person will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22The stingy are eager to get richand are unaware that poverty awaits them.
