Proverbs 28:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Happy is the man who always fears,
    but he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief.

¹⁵ As a roaring lion and a charging bear,
    so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

¹⁶ The prince who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor,
    but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
