'Cruel' in the Bible

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

He who is cruel to the poor for the purpose of increasing his profit, and he who gives to the man of wealth, will only come to be in need.

Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:

Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?

A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food.

A Commander-in-Chief who is a cruel oppressor lacks understanding, but whoever hates unjust gain will live longer.
