Proverbs 28: Right vs. Wrong
The wicked flee when no one
pursues, fearful of being caught
The righteous are totally free in
spirit, don’t even give it a thought.
A nation steeped in sin and
darkness is ruled by fear and deceit
Great is the need for a righteous
man the falsehearted to unseat.
Evil men abandon justice while
lining their pockets with cash.
But those who pray petition the
LORD that wickedness will not last.
A man may
be poor but when he is honest, he is to be admired.
The wealthy man who abandons the
truth is completely undesired.
He who
leads the innocent man into sin’s dire path
Will find
himself justly condemned, subject to Godly wrath.
When integrity reigns the nation
is blessed and the people are fulfilled,
But when the wicked rise to power, their confidence goes downhill.
If you
will faithfully live for God, you will be eternally blessed.
He who dies rejecting the LORD
will experience eternal distress.
How
dreadful to be a murderer ever shadowed by his sin;
On the
run, shunned by his friends, no inner peace within!
Here is the element for success
stated in Biblical clarity:
Deny distraction, work hard each
day; you will enjoy prosperity.
Valid criticism graciously shared
is far better in the end
Than a liar’s evil flattery; for
truth pays a dividend.
Trying to live by human wisdom is
truly insufficient.
How great our need to know the
ways of our God omniscient.
God cares for the poor and blesses
folks who do not ignore their need.
He who pretends he doesn’t see is
displaying his selfish greed.
