Wisdom Part 28 Pro 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. + People believe and become what they think. So if a person thinks about doing wickedness, then they will expect wickedness to come, or they constantly fear that trouble is coming because of the wickedness they have already done. But people who do not practice wrong doings, or only think about doing good expect goodness to come to them. Pro 28:2 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. + Notice how government keep getting bigger and bigger the more the United States becomes corrupt, but i righteous man can prolong the United States if the people are wise enough to elect him.

Pro 28:11 The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. + Rich people will usually be prideful and arrogant because of their wealth, but a person with understanding will see through to the rich mans true heart. Pro 28:12 When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. + When kind people are in power people feel safe, but when a wicked person is in power people fear persecution. Pro 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Pro 28:16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. + Here the word “wanteth” mean lacking.

It is destructive to want things that you can not have, and if you take them from another person then you may suffer their wrath. Pro 28:17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. + Do not harbor a violent person from justice. It will only lead to trouble or even to you being the victim of violence by their hand.

Pro 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. +Proud people always cause contentions. People who trust in the Lord should not lack anything. Pro 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. + Our desires can lead us into trouble, so consider all your desires wisely before pursuing them. Pro 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.
