Proverbs 28:1-3

Holman Christian Standard Bible

28 The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them,^(A)
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.^(B)

² When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers,^(C)
but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.

³ A destitute leader^[a] who oppresses the poor
is like a driving rain that leaves no food.^(D)
