Proverbs 28:15

All About Life

¹⁴ Happy is the man that feareth alway; But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. ¹⁵ As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,'so is a wicked ruler over a poor people. ¹⁶ The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
