Proverbs on Justice and Righteousness
“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
Proverbs 28:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but 'the righteous are bold as a lion.' The Hebrew 'nus' (flee) describes the guilty conscience that sees threats everywhere. Wickedness produces paranoia and cowardice. Conversely, 'batach' (bold/confident) characterizes the righteous—they have clear conscience before God. Reformed theology affirms that justification by faith produces peace with God (Romans 5:1) and confidence in His protection. The righteous need not fear because God is for them (Romans 8:31). This boldness comes from assurance of salvation, not personal merit.
