Proverbs 28;16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
17 A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
This first verse tells us that a ruler who does not understand the needs of his people will be an evil oppressor of the people. His rule is usually short lived. The ruler who understands the needs of his people knows there is a God who is over him and will do all he can to help his people.His people will want to keep him for a long time.
The next verse is basically talking about a murderer and warns that this person should face his punishment for what he did. We are not to comfort or help him because he must pay for this sin. He will find no rest till he sees death and the grave receives him.
We see two people here who are evil, the first capable of doing the sins of the second and then a totally opposite person in the prince that understands there is a God and rules accordingly. We need to have more people like the good prince today in our government to get our country back where it needs to be.
