| 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，必不享通。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 | 周济贫穷的，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. | ||
