Proverbs 28:2

All About Life

¹ The wicked flee when no one is pursuing,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
² By the transgression of a land many are its princes,
But by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures.
³ A poor man who oppresses the lowly
Is like a driving rain which leaves no food.
