Proverbs 28:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

28 The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.

² For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.

³ A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
