Proverbs 28:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 28:14

12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great ^aglory;
But when the wicked arise, men¹ hide themselves.

13 ^aHe who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

14 Happy is the man who is always reverent,
But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

15 ^aLike a roaring lion and a charging bear
^bIs a wicked ruler over poor people.

16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great ^aoppressor,
But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

17 ^aA man burdened with bloodshed will flee into a pit;
Let no one help him.

18 Whoever walks blamelessly will be¹ saved,
But he who is perverse in his ways will suddenly fall.

19 ^aHe who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!

20 A faithful man will abound with blessings,
^aBut he who hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
