Proverbs 28:15

All About Life

¹⁴ Happy is the man that is reverent always: but he that hardens his heart shall fall into calamity. ¹⁵ As a roaring lion, and a charging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. ¹⁶ The prince that lacks understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hates covetousness shall prolong his days.
