Proverbs
Chapters 28:1-6
New International Version Anglicized
1The wicked flee though no one pursues,but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.
3A ruler who oppresses the pooris like driving rain that leaves no crops.
4Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,but those who heed it resist them.
5Evildoers do not understand what is right,but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.
6Better the poor whose way of life is blamelessthan the rich whose ways are perverse.
