1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth; but the righteous are bold as a lion.
2. By the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding and of knowledge, its stability is prolonged.
3. A poor man who oppresseth the helpless is a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4. They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.
