Proverbs 28:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

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

2. Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;but by a man of understanding and knowledge, it shall be prolonged.

3. A poor man who oppresses the pooris like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.

4. Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked,but such as keep instruction contend with them.
