Proverbs 28:15-20

¹⁵A roaring lion, and an hungry bear, is a wicked prince on a poor people. (Like a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, is a wicked ruler over the poor.)

¹⁶A duke needy of prudence shall oppress many men by false challenge; but the days of him that hateth avarice shall be made long.

¹⁷No man sustain a man that falsely challengeth the blood of a man, (even) if he fleeth till to the pit. (Let no one protect someone who oppresseth unto the blood, that is, unto the murder, of another person, yea, let him flee into the pit.)

¹⁸He that goeth simply shall be safe (or He who goeth honestly, or with integrity, shall be safe); (but) he that goeth by wayward ways, shall fall down at once.

¹⁹He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; he that followeth idleness (or but he who is idle, or lazy), shall be filled with neediness.

²⁰A faithful man shall be praised much; but he that hasteth to be made rich, shall not be innocent. (A faithful person shall be much praised; but he who hasteneth to be made rich, shall not be innocent.)
