Sirach 10:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

10 A wise magistrate will educate his people,
    and the rule of an understanding man will be well ordered.
² Like the magistrate of the people, so are his officials;
    and like the ruler of the city, so are all its inhabitants.
³ An undisciplined king will ruin his people,
    but a city will grow through the understanding of its rulers.
