Proverbs 28:16


← Proverbs 28:15 Proverbs 28:16 (KJV) Proverbs 28:17 →
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.
A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
