September 15: Proverbs 28–29; 2 Corinthians 7

Morning: Proverbs 28–29 Proverbs 28–29 (Listen) 28   The wicked flee when no one pursues,<br />    but the righteous are bold as a lion.<br />2   When a land transgresses, it has many rulers,<br />    but with a man of understanding and knowledge,<br />    its stability will long continue.<br />3   A poor man who oppresses the poor<br />    is a beating rain that leaves no food.<br />4   Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,<br />    but those who keep the law strive against them.<br />5   Evil men do not understand justice,<br />    but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.<br />6   Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity<br />    than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.<br />7   The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding,<br />    but a companion of gluttons shames his father.<br />8   Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit1<br />    gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.<br />9   If one turns away his ear from hearing the law,<br />    even his prayer is an abomination.<br />
