Proverbs 28:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ Like a ^(A)roaring lion and a rushing bear
Is a ^(B)wicked ruler over a poor people.
¹⁶ A ^(C)leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding,
But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
¹⁷ A man who is ^(D)laden with the guilt of human blood
Will ^[a]be a fugitive until death; let no one support him.
