Proverbs 28:1-6

¹Every wicked fleeth when no man pursueth; but the righteous are like the confident young lion.

²When there is transgression in a land, it hath many for its princes; but under a man of understanding and knowledge its prosperity will long continue.

³A poor man that oppresseth the indigent is like a sweeping rain which bringeth no bread.

⁴They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as observe the law contend with them.

⁵Bad men understand not justice; but they that seek the Lord understand all things.

⁶Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
