Proverbs 28:2

Proverbs 28:2 Amplified Bible (AMP)

When a land does wrong, it has many princes, But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.

When the country is in chaos, everybody has a plan to fix it— But it takes a leader of real understanding to straighten things out.

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: But by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

By the transgression of a land many are its princes, But by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures.

When a country is lawless, it has one ruler after another; but when it is led by a leader with understanding and knowledge, it continues strong.

For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers, but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes; But by a man of understanding and knowledge Right will be prolonged.

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

A rebellious nation is thrown into chaos, but leaders anointed with wisdom will restore law and order.

When a land transgresses, it has many rulers, but with a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability will long continue.
