1 The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a young lion.
2 By the rebellion of the land, many are its princes, but by the man of understanding and wisdom the land shall remain stable.
3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.
4 Those that forsake the law praise the wicked, but such as keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men do not understand judgment, but those that seek the Lord understand all things.
