Proverbs 28:2-4

Amplified Bible

² 
When a land does wrong, it has many princes,
But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.
³ 
A poor man who oppresses and exploits the lowly
Is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.^(A)
4 
Those who ^[a]set aside the law [of God and man] praise the wicked,
But those who keep the law [of God and man] struggle with them.^(B)
