Proverbs 28:28

 1  The wicked flee when no one pursues, but  the righteous are bold as a lion.  2 When a land transgresses,  it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.  3  A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food.  4 Those who forsake the law  praise the wicked, but those who keep the law  strive against them.  5 Evil men  do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.  6  Better is a poor man who  walks in his integrity than a rich man who is  crooked in his ways.  7 The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but  a companion of gluttons shames his father.  8 Whoever multiplies his wealth  by interest and profit   gathers it for him who is  generous to the poor.  9 If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his  prayer is an abomination.  10 Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way  will fall into his own pit, but the blameless  will have a goodly inheritance.  11 A rich man is wise in his  own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding  will find him out.  12 When  the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when  the wicked rise, people hide themselves.  13 Whoever  conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who  confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.  14 Blessed is the one who  fears the Lord  always, but whoever  hardens his heart will fall into calamity.  15 Like  a roaring lion or  a charging bear is  a wicked ruler over a poor people.  16 A ruler who  lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.  17 If one is burdened with  the blood of another, he will be a fugitive until death;  let no one help him.  18  Whoever  walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is crooked in his ways will suddenly fall.  19  Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.  20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich  will not go unpunished.  21 To show  partiality is not good, but for  a piece of bread a man will do wrong.  22 A  stingy man  hastens after wealth and does not know that  poverty will come upon him.  23 Whoever  rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than  he who flatters with his tongue.  24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “That is no transgression,” is  a companion to a man who destroys.  25 A greedy man  stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the Lord will  be enriched.  26 Whoever  trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.  27 Whoever  gives to the poor will not want, but he who  hides his eyes will get many a curse.  28 When  the wicked rise,  people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
