Proverbs 28:12-16

¹²By reason of the help of righteous men great glory arises: But in the places of the ungodly men are caught.

¹³He that covers his own ungodliness shall not prosper: But he that blames himself shall be loved.

¹⁴Blessed is the man who religiously fears always: But the hard of heart shall fall into mischiefs.

¹⁵A hungry lion and a thirsty wolf is he, Who, being poor, rules over a poor nation.

¹⁶A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: But he that hates injustice shall live a long time.
