Proverbs 28:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ A wicked ruler over a poor people
    is a growling lion or a charging bear.
¹⁶ When a ruler lacks understanding, there will be much oppression,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain prolongs his days.
¹⁷ A person haunted by the guilt of bloodshed
    will be a fugitive until he goes down to the pit.
No one should offer him support.
