Proverbs 28:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
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.

15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign.

will seek refuge(A) in the grave;
let no one hold them back.
