Proverbs 28:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a poor people.(A)
16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor,
but one who hates unjust gain will enjoy a long life.
17 If someone is burdened with the blood of another,
let that killer be a fugitive until death;
let no one offer assistance.(B)
