28:1The wicked person flees when there is no one pursuing,1
but the righteous person is as confident2 as a lion.
Footnotes
- 1 The line portrays the insecurity of a guilty person—he flees because he has a guilty conscience, or because he is suspicious of others around him, or because he fears judgment.
- 2 The verb בָּטַח (batakh) means “to trust; to be secure; to be confident.” Cf. , , , , “bold.” The righteous, who seek to find favor with God and man, have a clear conscience and do not need to look over their shoulders for avengers or law enforcers. Their position is one of confidence, so that they do not flee.
