What does the Bible say about fleeing from God?

In Proverbs 28:1, it is declared that 'the wicked flee when no man pursueth.' This verse captures the essence of a person who is guilty before God and seeks to hide from their transgressions. This fleeing is rooted in an awareness of guilt—as seen in the account of Adam and Eve, who hid from God after their disobedience. Their attempt to conceal their shame exemplifies the natural state of humanity, born in sin and ashamed before a holy God. Many individuals, unaware of their true condition, flee through various means, including self-righteousness or false religion, but they are ultimately facing judgment.
