Proverbs 28: Warnings And Instructions
- Words Of The Wise: The timidity of the wicked. Government successions and punishment. Of the poor who oppress. The upright poor man and the wicked rich man. The unprofitable conduct of the usurer. The prosperity of the righteous a cause of rejoicing. He is blessed who fears always. A wicked ruler. The murderer. The faithful man. The corrupt judge. The foolishness of trusting in one's own heart. The charitable man. When the wicked are elevated, it is a public evil.
