Proverbs 28:15

All About Life

¹⁴ How happy the man who is ever circumspect, whereas, he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into calamity. ¹⁵ A growling lion, and a ranging bear, is a lawless ruler, over a poor people. ¹⁶ A leader, may lack intelligence, yet abound in oppressions, The hater of greed, shall lengthen out days.
