| 15 | Like a roaring lion and a charging bear Is a wicked ruler over a poor people. | Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. | Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people. | |
| 16 | A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding and common sense [and his wickedness shortens his days], But he who hates unjust gain will [be blessed and] prolong his days. | A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days. | A tyrannical ruler practices extortion, but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign. | |
