Proverbs 29:2, 8, 16, 18, 26 When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan. Mockers can get a whole town agitated, but the wise will calm anger. When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall. When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful. Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice comes from the LORD. | New Living Translation (NLT)
