Proverbs 27:
Do not talk about tomorrow when
today is not yet over and let others praise you rather than yourself. Anger is
nothing compared to jealousy. Open rebuke is better than hidden love. Better
is a neighbor nearby that a distant brother. Death and destruction like the
eyes of man are never satisfied.
Proverbs 28:
The wicked flees when no one
pursues him - guilty conscience. A wise man maintains order. Those who praise
the wicked forsake God’s laws because wicked and godless men hate justice.
Those who build wealth through high interests save it for another who will be
kind to the poor. Men go into hiding when the wicked is in power but are elated
when the righteous triumph. A dictator lacks judgment, but the one who hates
ill-gotten wealth lives long. A stingy man trying to be rich has poverty
waiting for him. He who gives to the poor lacks nothing. |

Proverbs 29:
A companion of prostitutes and
parasites leads to poverty. A just leader brings stability to a nation, but the
one that is greedy for bribes tears it down. The godly wants justice for the
poor, but injustice is profit for the godless. Bloodthirsty men hate integrity
and seek to kill the godly. A ruler who loves lies breeds wicked officials.
The throne of the king that judges the poor fairly is always secure. Sin
multiplies when the wicked and godless thrives, but the godly will see their
fall. Never pamper your servants early, it brings grief later.
The accomplice
of a thief hates himself. Many seek the king, but it is God that gives justice.
