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.
