“Roaring and Charging”
Blessings folk!
More about rulers…
Pro 28:15
Like a roaring lion or a charging bear
is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
ESV
Pro 28:15
A wicked ruler is as dangerous to the poor
as a roaring lion or an attacking bear.
NLT
We are ruled by the Wicked.
I can name a handful of righteous rulers…and have fingers left over.
Wickedness is world-wide.
Roaring.
Charging.
Oppression is ever-increasing…especially against the poor…usually in the name of “helping” the poor.
Pro 28:16a
A ruler with no understanding will oppress his people,…
Such rulers have no understanding of righteousness.
They seek their own way.
Their day will come.
Still…
Prov 28:16b
but one who hates corruption will have a long life.
Be Righteous.
Hate wickedness.
Hate corruption.
Long life will ensue.
