Proverbs 28:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Blessed is the man that [a]feareth always: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into evil.
15 As a roaring lion, and an hungry bear, so is [b]a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 A prince destitute of understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.

Proverbs 28:14-16
New International Version
14 Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,
but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
16 A tyrannical ruler practices extortion,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
