Proverbs 28:16
“A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.”
In context
14Blessed is the man who is always reverent, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
15Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.
16A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.
17A man burdened by bloodguilt will flee into the Pit; let no one support him.
