Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. 4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. 5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
This chapter starts off and shows us eight classes of people. First we see the wicked who always run from trouble and sin because they know they are guilty. While the righteous know how to stand up to danger because they know that “greater is He that is within me than he that is in the world” Next we see that unrighteousness produces political instability, while wisdom promotes order and long rule. Next we see where you would think the poor would have compassion on the poor but they are greed y which probably led to their condition to begin with. It says it is like a sweeping rain that could destroy almost anything, sweep seeds in the fields away,carry flocks away, or even wash a home away. The next verse sate simply that you can be on one side or the other. One side loves God and keeps His commandments, the other side loves the world and the wickedness it brings. Last we see what most of the world is made of. Evil men have chosen to follow Satan instead of
God and will not listen to reason so they will never understand. Those who seek the Lord will receive understanding and wisdom from the Spirit of God. I know this is a long post but it could help someone decide what type person they want to be.
