Proverbs 28:2, 4-5, 7, 26

When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.

To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. Evil people don’t understand justice, but those who follow the LORD understand completely.

Young people who obey the law are wise; those with wild friends bring shame to their parents.

Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.
