Proverbs 28:15-17
Authorized (King James) Version
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear;
so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor:
but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person
shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Proverbs 28:15-17
New International Version
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
16 A tyrannical ruler practices extortion,
but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.
17 Anyone tormented by the guilt of murder
will seek refuge(A) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
