Proverbs 28:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ A wicked ruler over poor people is
like a ·roaring [growling] lion or a ·charging [prowling] bear [^Cdangerous or frightening].

¹⁶ A ·ruler [prince] without ·wisdom [understanding] will be cruel,
but the one who ·refuses to take [hates] ·dishonest money [unjust gain/profit] will ·rule [or live] a long time.

¹⁷ Don’t help those who are ·guilty of [oppressed/burdened by] murder;
let them ·run [flee] ·until they die [^Lto the pit/grave; Gen. 9:5–6].
