Proverbs 28:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ As a roaring lion and a hungry bear, so is a wicked ruler over poor people.

¹⁶ A prince, destitute of understanding, is also a great oppressor. But he who hates covetousness shall prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man who does violence to human blood shall flee to the pit. Let no one hold him.
