Proverbs 28:14-18

MLV(i) 14 The man who fears always is fortunate, but he who hardens his heart will fall into mischief.
15 A roaring lion and a ranging bear, is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
16 The ruler who lacks understanding is also a great oppressor, but he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.
17 A man who is laden with the blood of any person will flee to the pit. Let no man hold him.
18 He who walks uprightly will be delivered, but he who is perverse in his ways will fall at once.
