Proverbs 29:2, 8, 10, 16, 25 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Scoffers set a city aflame, But wise men turn away wrath. The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, But the upright seek his well-being. When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe. | New King James Version (NKJV)
