SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:28

¶ Cuando los impíos son levantados, el hombre cuerdo se esconderá; mas cuando perecen, los justos se multiplican.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 28. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves , etc.] When wicked men are raised to places of power and authority, rich men hide themselves, lest they should become a prey to them; and good men hide themselves, that they may not be put to death by them; or as ashamed to behold their evil actions; (see Gill on “ Proverbs 28:12”); but when they perish ; wicked men, either by a natural or violent death; or perish as to their authority and power, being turned out of their places: the righteous increase ; such who before hid themselves appear, and, being put into the places of the wicked, encourage truth and righteousness, by which means the number of good men is multiplied; and which is a great happiness to a nation, and shows the usefulness and advantage that good magistrates are of unto it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 28 - When power is put into the hands of the wicked, wise men decline publi business. If the reader will go diligently over this and the othe chapters, in many places where at first he may suppose there is leas of Christ, still he will find what will lead to him __________________________________________________________________
