Proverbs 28:2, 4, 12, 15-16, 28

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

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them.

When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, but he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.

When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
