Proverbs 28:15


← Proverbs 28:14 Proverbs 28:15 (KJV) Proverbs 28:16 →
Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.
As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
