Proverbs 28:15

All About Life

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth always; but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into evil. ¹⁵ A roaring lion, and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people. ¹⁶ The prince void of intelligence is also a great oppressor: he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
