Proverbs 28:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Blessed is the man who fears the Lord always;
    but he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
¹⁵ Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
    is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
¹⁶ A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor;
    but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
