Proverbs 28:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ ⌞Like⌟ a roaring lion and a charging bear,
⌞so⌟ a wicked ruler is a threat to poor people.
¹⁶ A leader without understanding taxes ⌞his people⌟ heavily,
but those who hate unjust gain will live longer.
¹⁷ A person burdened with the guilt of murder
will be a fugitive down to his grave.
No one will help him.
