Today we will be finishing up the book of Proverbs 28-29 NKJV (Chronological Study Bible) The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes; But by a man of understanding and knowledge Right will be prolonged. A poor man who oppresses the poor Is like a driving rain which leaves no food. Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, But such as keep the law contend with them. Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand all. Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one perverse in his ways, though he be rich. He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Whoever loves wisdom makes his father rejoice, But a companion of harlots wastes his wealth. A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back. The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The Lord gives light to the eyes of both. The rod and rebuke give wisdom, But a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul. Proverbs 28:1-6,29:1-3,11,13,15,17 - NKJV.
