Proverbs 28

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 28 of 31

1 The wicked one flees and none are pursuing, but the righteous ones are as bold as a lion.

2 By transgression in a land many are its rulers, but by a discerning man who knows, it is thus prolonged.

3 A poor man that oppresses the weak one is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.
