Proverbs 28:15-17
American Standard Version
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,
So is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 [a]The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor;
But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that is laden with the blood of any person
Shall flee unto the pit; let no man stay him.
