Proverbs 28:4
“They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.”
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.
A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
