Evil men don’t understand justice;
but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
Evil men don’t understand justice;
but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
Proverbs 28:2–8
In rebellion, a land has many rulers,
but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
A needy man who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
Those who forsake the law praise the wicked;
but those who keep the law contend with them.
Evil men don’t understand justice;
but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
Better is the poor who walks in his integrity
than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
Whoever keeps the law is a wise son;
but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
He who increases his wealth by excessive interest
gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
