1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth:but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2 For the transgression of a landmany are the princes thereof:but by a man of understanding and knowledgethe state thereof shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked:but such as keep the law contend with them.
