Proverbs 28:1-3

New International Version

28 The wicked flee^(A) though no one pursues,^(B)
    but the righteous are as bold as a lion.^(C)

² When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
    but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

³ A ruler^[a] who oppresses the poor
    is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.
