Proverbs 28:15

All About Life

¹⁴ Blessed is the man reverencing God. He who hardens his heart will fall into trouble. ¹⁵ Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear
Is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
¹⁶ The ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor. He who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
