“A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment.One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.”
Proverbs 28:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14Blessed is the man who always fears;but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble. 15As a roaring lion or a charging bear,so is a wicked ruler over helpless people. 16A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment.One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days. 17A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death.No one will support him. 18Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
