Proverbs 29:2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 25-27

When the righteous are in authority and become great, the people rejoice; But when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh.

The king establishes (stabilizes) the land by justice, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.

By his wicked plan an evil man is trapped, But the righteous man sings and rejoices [for his plan brings good things to him].

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity], But the upright are concerned for his life. [Gen 4:5, 8; 1 John 3:12]

If a ruler pays attention to lies [and encourages corruption], All his officials will become wicked.

The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in and puts his confidence in the LORD will be exalted and safe. Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD. An unjust man is repulsive to the righteous, And he who is upright in the way [of the LORD] is repulsive to the wicked.
