Proverbs 28:28

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.

See the chapter Copy

When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.

They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.

In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.

He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.

The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.

And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, during which Athalia reigned over the land.
