Proverbs 28:1-4
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 28

1The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion. 2Due to a wrongdoing of a land its leaders are many, But by a person of understanding and knowledge, so it endures. 3A poor man who oppresses the helpless Is like a driving rain which leaves no food. 4Those who abandon the Law praise the wicked, But those who keep the Law strive against them.
King James Version

Chapter 28

2For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.
3A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.
4They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
