Pearls Of Wisdom Bible Reading 09-28-2023

Proverbs 28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
28 The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2 When a land rebels
it has many rulers;
but with an intelligent person, honesty endures.
3 A poor person who oppresses the poor
is a beating rain that leaves no food.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
but those who keep the law struggle against them.
5 The evil do not understand justice,
but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.
6 Better to be poor and walk in integrity
than to be crooked in one’s ways even though rich.
7 Those who keep the law are wise children,
but companions of gluttons shame their parents.
8 One who augments wealth by exorbitant interest
gathers it for another who is kind to the poor.
9 When one will not listen to the law,
even one’s prayers are an abomination.
10 Those who mislead the upright into evil ways
will fall into pits of their own making,
but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.
11 The rich is wise in self-esteem,
but an intelligent poor person sees through the pose.
12 When the righteous rejoice, there is great glory,
but when the wicked prevail, people go into hiding.
13 No one who conceals transgressions will prosper,
but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
14 Happy is the one who is never without fear,
but one who is hard-hearted will fall into calamity.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,
but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.
17 If someone is burdened with the blood of another,
let that killer be a fugitive until death;
let no one offer assistance.
18 One who walks in integrity will be safe,
but whoever follows crooked ways will fall into the Pit.
19 Anyone who tills the land will have plenty of bread,
but one who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
20 The faithful will abound with blessings,
but one who is in a hurry to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 To show partiality is not good,
yet for a piece of bread a person may do wrong.
22 The miser is in a hurry to get rich
and does not know that loss is sure to come.
23 Whoever rebukes a person will afterward find more favor
than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Anyone who robs father or mother
and says, “That is no crime,”
is partner to a thug.
25 The greedy person stirs up strife,
but whoever trusts in the Lord will be enriched.
26 Those who trust in their own wits are fools,
but those who walk in wisdom come through safely.
27 Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing,
but one who turns a blind eye will get many a curse.
28 When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding,
but when they perish, the righteous increase.

Reina Valera Actualizada
28 Huye el impío sin que nadie

lo persiga,
pero los justos están confiados como un león.
2 Por la rebelión del país se multiplican sus gobernantes,
pero por el hombre de entendimiento y de inteligencia permanecerá.
3 El hombre pobre que oprime a los más débiles
es como lluvia torrencial
que deja sin pan.
4 Los que abandonan la ley alaban
a los impíos,
pero los que guardan la ley contenderán con ellos.
5 Los hombres malos no entienden
el derecho,
pero los que buscan al SEÑOR
lo entienden todo.
6 Mejor es el pobre que camina
en su integridad
que el de caminos torcidos
aunque sea rico.
7 El que guarda la ley es hijo inteligente, pero el que se junta con glotones avergüenza a su padre.
8 El que aumenta sus riquezas
con usura e intereses
acumula para el que se compadece
de los pobres.
9 El que aparta su oído para no oír la ley, aun su oración es abominable.
10 El que hace errar a los rectos
por el mal camino,
él caerá en su propia fosa;
pero los íntegros heredarán el bien.
11 El hombre rico es sabio en su propia opinión,
pero el pobre que es inteligente
lo escudriña.
12 Cuando triunfan los justos grande
es la gloria;
pero cuando se levantan los impíos
se esconden los hombres.
13 El que encubre sus pecados
no prosperará,
pero el que los confiesa y los abandona alcanzará misericordia.
14 Bienaventurado el hombre
que siempre teme,
pero el que endurece su corazón caerá en el mal.
15 León rugiente y oso que embiste
es el gobernante impío sobre el pueblo empobrecido.
16 El gobernante falto de entendimiento aumenta la extorsión,
pero el que aborrece las ganancias deshonestas alargará sus días.
17 El hombre que carga con un delito
de sangre huirá hasta la fosa
y nadie lo detendrá.
18 El que camina en integridad será salvo, pero el de caminos torcidos caerá en una fosa .
19 El que cultiva su tierra se saciará
de pan,
pero el que persigue cosas vanas
se saciará de pobreza.
20 El hombre fiel tendrá muchas bendiciones,
pero el que se apresura a enriquecerse no quedará impune.
21 No es bueno hacer distinción
de personas,
pues un hombre puede delinquir hasta por un bocado de pan.
22 El hombre de malas intenciones se apresura a enriquecerse,
y no sabe que le ha de venir escasez.
23 El que reprende al hombre hallará después mayor gracia
que el que le lisonjea con la lengua.
24 El que roba a su padre y a su madre,
y dice que no es maldad,
es compañero del destructor.
25 El de ánimo altivo suscita contiendas, pero el que confía en el SEÑOR prosperará.
26 El que confía en su propio corazón
es un necio,
pero el que camina en sabiduría
estará a salvo.
27 Al que da al pobre no le faltará, pero el que cierra ante él sus ojos tendrá muchas maldiciones.
28 Cuando se levantan los impíos
se ocultan los hombres;
pero cuando perecen
los justos se engrandecen.

Proverbs 28
King James Version
28 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 Whoso 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righte
