Proverbs 28:15

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁵As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear;
so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

Proverbs 28:15

New International Version

¹⁵Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

when the wicked rule,^(B) the people groan.^(C)
