Proverbs 28 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)28 Sinners run away even when no one is chasing them. 2 A country has many rulers when its people don’t obey. 3 A ruler who treats poor people badly 4 Those who turn away from instruction praise sinners. 5 Sinful people don’t understand what is right. 6 It is better to be poor and live without blame 7 A child who understands what is right learns from instruction. 8 Someone might get rich by taking interest or profit from poor people. 9 If you don’t pay attention to my instruction, 10 Those who lead honest people down an evil path 11 Rich people may think they are wise. 12 When godly people win, everyone is very happy. 13 Anyone who hides their sins doesn’t succeed. 14 Blessed is the one who always trembles in front of God. 15 An evil person who rules over helpless people 16 A ruler who is mean to his people takes money from them by force. 17 Anyone troubled by the guilt of murder 18 Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe. 19 Those who work their land will have plenty of food. 20 A faithful person will be richly blessed. 21 Favoring one person over another is not good. 22 Those who won’t share what they have want to get rich. 23 It is better to warn a person than to pretend to praise them. 24 Anyone who steals from their parents and says, “It’s not wrong,” 25 People who always want more stir up conflict. 26 Those who trust in themselves are foolish. 27 Those who give to poor people will have all they need. 28 When those who are evil take charge, other people hide.
