Proverbs 28:15-20

¹⁵Wicked people who mistreat poor people whom they rule are as dangerous to them as SIM a lion roaring at them or a bear springing up to attack them.

¹⁶Rulers who do not have good sense cruelly oppress the people they rule, but rulers who do not want to become rich by cheating/deceiving people will live (OR, rule) for a long time.

¹⁷Those who are guilty of murdering MTY another person will ◄be fugitives/keep running away► until they die; do not help them to escape.

¹⁸Those who continually do what is right will be safe/protected, but those who are dishonest will suddenly be ruined.

¹⁹Farmers who work hard in their fields will produce good crops and always have plenty of food to eat, but those who spend all their time ◄on useless projects/doing things that do not benefit anyone► will become very poor.

²⁰God will greatly bless those who ◄are trustworthy/always do what they say that they will do►, but he will certainly punish LIT those who try to become rich quickly.
