Proverbs 28:14-16
International Standard Version

14 Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord,[a]
    but whoever hardens his heart will fall into disaster.

15 A roaring lion and a charging bear—
    that’s what a wicked tyrant is over poor people.
16 A Commander-in-Chief[b] who is a cruel oppressor lacks understanding,
    but whoever hates unjust gain will live longer.[c]
