Proverbs 28:14-16

The Message

¹⁴ A tenderhearted person lives a blessed life;
    a hardhearted person lives a hard life.

¹⁵ Lions roar and bears charge—
    and the wicked lord it over the poor.

¹⁶ Among leaders who lack insight, abuse abounds,
    but for one who hates corruption, the future is bright.
