Proverbs 28:5 Context
3A poore man that oppresseth the poore, is like a sweeping raine which leaueth no food. 4They that forsake the law, praise the wicked: but such as keepe the Law, contend with them. 5Euill men vnderstand not iudgement: but they that seeke the Lord, vnderstand all things. 6Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then he that is peruerse in his wayes, though he be rich. 7Whoso keepeth the law, is a wise sonne: but he that is a companion of riotous men, shameth his father.
