Proverbs 28:17

Blessed is the man who always fears;

but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear,

so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment.

One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.

Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe;

but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.

One who works his land will have an abundance of food;

but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.

A faithful man is rich with blessings;

but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
