Proverbs 28:14-16

New Living Translation

¹⁴ Blessed are those who fear to do wrong,^[a]
    but the stubborn are headed for serious trouble.

¹⁵ A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor
    as a roaring lion or an attacking bear.

¹⁶ A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people,
    but one who hates corruption will have a long life.
