Proverbs 28:1-5 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

2. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

3. A needy man that oppresseth the poor is like 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.

5. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things.
