Evil people are always running from someone or something. Proverbs chapter 28 says good people are bold like a lion. Leaders who oppress the poor is like a driving rain. The law helps us battle against evil. Justice means nothing to those who oppose it.

When Jehovah destroyed Israel and Judah, it was due to inequality and lack of justice. Prayer is worthless to those who ignore the commandments of God. The poor who have integrity are better than those rich who do not know right from wrong.

Leaders should not be working for their advantage. Generosity and wisdom from the head of the country is needed. Children can be a blessing or a curse depending on if they follow the Lord or not.

Collecting excessive interest may increase wealth, but not at the expense of the poor. Even one who leads others astray will fall into his own pit. The blameless will inherit good things. Being a poor man doesn’t mean you do not have discernment.

Have you ever noticed how people react around others? They hide from some and enjoy being with others. Confessing our sins is needed to find mercy. Reverence makes you happy. The hard of heart fall into trouble. Rulers who are wicked are like wild animals. They are oppressive because they have no understanding.

Bloodguilt makes you a fugitive. Integrity is knowing right from wrong. I have known people in the business world who chased fantasies of instant wealth and were left worse off than those who continued to work for a living. Blessings come to the faithful.

Showing partiality is not good. Sin can be caused by a need for food. The desire for quick wealth is an indicator of greed. Telling the hard truth will gain respect from those who are discerning. Robbing your parents and saying there is no sin reminds me of the condemnation that Jesus gave the Jewish leaders for ignoring their parents’ needs.

Trusting in the Lord will cause prosperity. A fool trusts in himself while the wise will be safe. Those who ignore the poor will be cursed. The generous will not suffer need. Wicked and righteous can be distinguished by the way others react to them.
