Proverbs 28:1-7
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. 5Evil people do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand everything. 6Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity, Than a person who is crooked, though he is rich. 7He who keeps the Law is a discerning son, But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.King James Version

Chapter 28
1The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue. 3A poor man who oppresses the poor is a beating rain that leaves no food. 4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them. 5Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely. 6Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. 7The one who keeps the law is a son with understanding, but a companion of gluttons shames his father.New International Version
