Haz el bien y bien te irá

28 El que nada debe, nada teme,
pero el malvado siempre huye
aunque nadie lo persiga.

En un país lleno de maldad
todos se creen líderes,
pero el gobernante capaz
logra poner el orden.

El pobre que maltrata a otro pobre
es como una tormenta
que acaba con las cosechas.

28 The wicked flee(A) though no one pursues,(B)
    but the righteous are as bold as a lion.(C)

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
    but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

A ruler[a] who oppresses the poor
    is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.
