Proverbs 28:3

Proverbs 28:3

1 The ^awicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.

2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.

3 ^aA poor man who oppresses the poor
Is like a driving rain¹ which leaves no food.

4 ^aThose who forsake the law praise the wicked,
^bBut such as keep the law contend with them.

5 ^aEvil men do not understand justice,
But ^bthose who seek the Lord understand all.
