Proverbs 28:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.

²⁷He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.

²⁸When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
