| 28:1 | 恶人虽无人追赶也逃跑、义人却胆壮像狮子。 | The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. |
| 28:2 | 邦国因有罪过、君王就多更换.因有聪明知识的人、国必长存。 | 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. |
| 28:3 | 穷人欺压贫民、好像暴雨冲没粮食。 | A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. |
| 28:4 | 违弃律法的、夸奖恶人.遵守律法的、却与恶人相争。 | They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. |
| 28:5 | 坏人不明白公义.惟有寻求耶和华的无不明白。 | Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. |
| 28:6 | 行为纯正的穷乏人、胜过行事乖僻的富足人。 | Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. |
| 28:7 | 谨守律法的是智慧之子.与贪食人作伴的、却羞辱其父。 | Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father. |
| 28:8 | 人以厚利加增财物、是给那怜悯穷人者积蓄的。 | He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. |
| 28:9 | 转耳不听律法的、他的祈祷也为可憎。 | He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. |
| 28:10 | 诱惑正直人行恶道的、必掉在自己的坑里.惟有完全人、必承受福分。 | Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession. |
| 28:11 | 富足人自以为有智慧.但聪明的贫穷人、能将他查透。 | The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out. |
| 28:12 | 义人得志有大荣耀.恶人兴起人就躲藏。 | When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the wicked rise, a man is hidden. |
| 28:13 | 遮掩自己罪过的、必不亨通.承认离弃罪过的、必蒙怜恤。 | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
| 28:14 | 常存敬畏的、便为有福.心存刚硬的、必陷在祸患里。 | Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. |
| 28:15 | 暴虐的君王辖制贫民.好像吼叫的狮子、觅食的熊。 | As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. |
| 28:16 | 无知的君多行暴虐.以贪财为可恨的、必年长日久。 | The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. |
| 28:17 | 背负流人血之罪的、必往坑里奔跑、谁也不可拦阻他。 | A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him. |
| 28:18 | 行动正直的、必蒙拯救.行事弯曲的、立时跌倒。 | Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. |
| 28:19 | 耕种自己田地的、必得饱食.追随虚浮的、足受穷乏。 | He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. |
| 28:20 | 诚实人必多得福、想要急速发财的、不免受罚。 | A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. |
| 28:21 | 看人的情面、乃为不好.人因一块饼枉法、也为不好。 | To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. |
| 28:22 | 人有恶眼想要急速发财、却不知穷乏必临到他身。 | He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. |
| 28:23 | 责备人的、后来蒙人喜悦、多于那用舌头谄媚人的。 | He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. |
| 28:24 | 偷窃父母的、说、这不是罪.此人就是与强盗同类。 | Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer. |
| 28:25 | 心中贪婪的、挑起争端.倚靠耶和华的、必得丰裕。 | He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat. |
| 28:26 | 心中自是的、便是愚昧人.凭智慧行事的、必蒙拯救。 | He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. |
| 28:27 | 赒济贫穷的、不致缺乏.佯为不见的、必多受咒诅。 | He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. |
| 28:28 | 恶人兴起、人就躲藏.恶人败亡、义人增多。 | When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase. |
