Proverbs 28:1-3

New American Standard Bible 1995

28 The wicked ^(A)flee when no one is pursuing,
But the righteous are ^[a]bold as a lion.
² By the transgression of a land ^(B)many are its princes,
But ^(C)by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures.
³ A ^(D)poor man who oppresses the lowly
Is like a driving rain ^[b]which leaves no food.
