Proverbs 28:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ Those who are always respectful will be happy,
    but those who are stubborn will get into trouble.

¹⁵ A wicked ruler is as dangerous to poor people
    as a roaring lion or a charging bear.

¹⁶ A ruler without wisdom will be cruel,
    but the one who refuses to take dishonest money will rule a long time.
