Proverbs 28:1-3 New Century Version (NCV)

1. Evil people run even though no one is chasing them,but good people are as brave as a lion.

2. When a country is lawless, it has one ruler after another;but when it is led by a leader with understanding and knowledge, it continues strong.

3. Rulers who mistreat the poorare like a hard rain that destroys the crops.
