Proverbs 28:1-3
Names of God Bible

28 A wicked person flees when no one is chasing him,
    but righteous people are as bold as lions.
2 When a country is in revolt, it has many rulers,
    but only with a person who has understanding and knowledge
        will it last a long time.
3 A poor person who oppresses poorer people
    is like a driving rain that leaves no food.
