2 When the righteous [a]are in authority, the (A)people rejoice;But when a wicked man rules, (B)the people groan.
10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to (A)seek[a] the Law of the Lord, and to do it, and to (B)teach statutes and ordinances in Israel.
15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
