Proverbs 28:1

Verse 1 of 28. The 28th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

2In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.

3A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.

4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.

5Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
