Proverbs 28:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.

³ A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.

⁴ They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
