Proverbs 28:2

1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

A land in rebellion has many rulers, but a man of understanding and knowledge maintains order.

3 A destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no food.

4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
