Proverbs 28:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Happy is the one who is never without fear,
    but one who is hard-hearted will fall into calamity.
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.
