Proverbs 28:5 in Context — Proverbs 28

3 O homem pobre que oprime aos necessitados é [como] uma chuva devastadora [que causa] falta de pão.

4 Os que abandonam a lei louvam ao perverso; porém os que guardam a lei lutarão contra eles.

5 Os homens maus não entendem a justiça; mas os que buscam ao SENHOR entendem tudo.

6 Melhor é o pobre que anda em sua honestidade do que o perverso de caminhos, ainda que seja rico.

7 O que guarda a lei é um filho prudente, mas o companheiro de comilões envergonha a seu pai.
