Proverbs 28:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
    is a wicked ruler over a poor people.^(A)
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,
    but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.
¹⁷ If someone is burdened with the blood of another,
    let that killer be a fugitive until death;
    let no one offer assistance.^(B)
