Proverbs 28:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.

¹⁶ A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.

¹⁷ A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
