Proverbs 28

Gen Z: Proverbs 28

1The wicked be bouncin' when no one’s coming for them: but the righteous are bold like a lion, no cap.

2When a land's trippin', there's mad rulers, but a wise dude keeps it chill and extends the vibes.

3A broke dude who messes with the poor is like a rainstorm that leaves no snacks, fr.

4Those who ditch the law are all about the wicked vibes: but those who stick to the law are ready to pop off.

5Evil peeps don’t get what’s right: but those who chase after the Lord are woke to everything.

6Better to be a broke dude walking straight than a rich one being sus in his ways.

7Whoever keeps the law is a wise son: but rolling with wild peeps just brings shame, periodt.

8If you stack cash through shady deals, you’re just gonna hand it over to someone who cares for the poor.

9If you shut your ears to the law, even your prayers are straight-up sus.

10Whoever leads the righteous astray in a bad way is gonna fall into their own trap: but the straight-up will be blessed.

11The rich dude thinks he's all that, but the poor with smarts is out here finding the real ones.

12When the good peeps celebrate, it's a whole vibe; but when the bad guys rise up, people be lowkey hiding.

13If you try to cover your sins, you ain't gonna win; but if you own up and let go, mercy's on deck.

14The dude who’s always on edge is chillin’; but the one with a hard heart is just asking for trouble, fr.

15A wicked ruler is like a roaring lion or a bear on the prowl, straight up savage to the poor.

16A prince who lacks smarts is just a big oppressor; but the one who hates greed will live long, no cap.

17A guy who spills blood is just running to his doom; don’t even try to stop him.

18Whoever walks straight will be good, but the one who's sus in their ways is gonna fall, periodt.

19The one who works his land will have bread for days; but chasing after fakes will leave you broke.

20A loyal dude is gonna be blessed up; but rushing to get rich? You ain't innocent, my guy.

21Respecting peeps ain't it, fam; people will cross lines for just a crumb of bread.

22Chasing that cash too fast? That's sus, and poverty's gonna hit you hard, no cap.

23If you call someone out later, you'll get more respect than if you just hype them up with sweet talk.

24If you rob your fam and think it’s chill, you’re basically vibing with a destroyer, fr.

25A proud heart just stirs up drama, but trusting in the Lord? That’s how you get blessed, periodt.

26Trusting your own heart? Major fool energy; but walking wise? You’ll be straight-up saved.

27Giving to the poor? You won’t be lacking; but turning a blind eye? Expect mad curses.

28When the wicked rise, everyone ducks; but when they fall, the good peeps just thrive.

KJV: Proverbs 28

1The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

2For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

3A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

4They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

5Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.

6Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

7Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

8He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.

9He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

10Whoso 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.

11The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out.

12When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden.

13He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

14Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

15As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

16The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

17A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

18Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

19He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

20A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

21To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.

22He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

23He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.

24Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

25He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

26He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

27He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

28When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
