Proverbs 29:2, 8, 16, 18, 26 When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger. When the wicked thrive, so does sin, but the righteous will see their downfall. Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction. Many seek an audience with a ruler, but it is from the LORD that one gets justice. | New International Version (NIV)
