Proverbs 28:1, 10, 12, 28

Guilty criminals experience paranoia even though no one threatens them. But the innocent lovers of God, because of righteousness, will have the boldness of a young, ferocious lion!

Those who tempt the lovers of God with an evil scheme will fall into their own traps. But the innocent who resist temptation will experience reward.

The triumphant joy of God’s lovers releases great glory. But when the wicked rise to power, everyone goes into hiding.

When wicked leaders rise to power, good people go into hiding. But when they fall from power, the godly take their place.
