Proverbs 28:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴ Happy is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who makes his heart hard will fall into trouble.

¹⁵ A sinful ruler over poor people is like a lion making noise or a bear running to fight.

¹⁶ A ruler who takes much from the people who have little does not have understanding. But he who hates wanting something that belongs to someone else will live a long time.
