Proverbs 28:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. The wicked run away when no one is chasing them,but the godly are as bold as lions.

2. When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.

3. A poor person who oppresses the pooris like a pounding rain that destroys the crops.

4. To reject the law is to praise the wicked;to obey the law is to fight them.

5. Evil people don’t understand justice,but those who follow the lord understand completely.
