Proverbs 28:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.

2. For the sine of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.

3. A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.

4. They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.

5. Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.

6. Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.

7. He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
