Proverbs 28:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

28 A wicked person runs away even when nobody is chasing him.
    But a righteous person is as brave as a lion.
² When the people in a country refuse to obey the law,
    they will have many rulers.
But if a country has a wise ruler who understands what is right,
    it will continue to be strong.
³ A poor person who is cruel to helpless people
    is like a storm that destroys crops.^[a]
