Proverbs 28:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Blessed is the one who always trembles in front of God.
    But anyone who makes their heart stubborn will get into trouble.

¹⁵ An evil person who rules over helpless people
    is like a roaring lion or an angry bear.

¹⁶ A ruler who is mean to his people takes money from them by force.
    But one who hates money gained in the wrong way will rule a long time.
