"The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it."
— Proverbs 29:4, NASB
“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.”
“The king by justice establisheth the land; But he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it. ”
“The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.”
“A king brings stability to a land by justice, but one who exacts tribute tears it down.”
“A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.”
“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.”
A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy.
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan.
A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth.
The king gives stability to the land by justice, But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.
A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps.
By transgression an evil man is ensnared, But the righteous sings and rejoices.
The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor, The wicked does not understand such concern.
