[As] a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; [so is] a wicked ruler over the poor people.

The prince that wanteth understanding [is] also a great oppressor: [but] he that hateth covetousness shall prolong [his] days.

A man that doeth violence to the blood of [any] person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
