Proverbs 28:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. The wicked flee though none pursue;but the just, like a lion, are confident.

2. If a land is rebellious, its princes will be many;but with an intelligent and wise ruler there is stability.

3. One who is poor and extorts from the lowlyis a devastating rain that leaves no food.
