Proverbs 28:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ A wicked ruler brings danger to poor people.
    He is as dangerous as an angry lion or a hungry bear.
¹⁶ If a ruler is cruel, it shows that he is not wise.
    But a ruler who refuses bribes will rule for a long time.
¹⁷ Someone who is guilty of murder will be running until he dies.
    Nobody should help him to escape.
