1 The wicked flee, but no one pursues, but the righteous is bold like a lion.
2 By the rebellion of a land, her rulers increase, but by a person of intelligence who knows justice, it will last.
3 A man who is poor and oppresses the impoverished is a beating rain that leaves no food.
4 Those who forsake instruction will praise the wicked, but they who guard instruction will struggle against them.
