281 The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
281 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
281 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
281 The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one's after them; Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions.
281 The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion.
281 The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.
