Proverbs 28:16

A ruler should not be cruel. He should not attack his own people. If he does, he is not wise. A ruler needs his people to protect him from his enemy.

The ruler’s own people hate a cruel ruler. So this cruel ruler is stupid.

A wise person is honest. He does not cheat. He does not steal money. He is fair with everybody. And God will help that honest person. The honest person will have a good life.
