³⁴ ·Doing what is right [Righteousness] makes a nation great,
but sin will ·bring disgrace to any [diminish a] people.

² When ·good [righteous] people ·do well [or multiply; increase], ·everyone is [^Lthe people are] happy,
but when evil people ·rule [dominate], ·everyone groans [^Lthe people groan/moan].

¹⁸ Where there is no ·word from God [^Lvision; prophecy], ·people are uncontrolled [^Tthe people perish],
but those who ·obey what they have been taught [^Lguard the law] are ·happy [blessed].
