Proverbs 28:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ As a roaring lion and a charging bear,
    so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

¹⁶ The prince who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor,
    but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man burdened with bloodshed of any person
    will flee until death;
    let no man help him.
