Proverbs 28:1-6

1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; But the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, But order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor Is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; But those who keep the law contend with them.
5 Evil men don't understand justice; But those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity, Than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
