³⁰ That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

³ The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

⁴ And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

⁸ A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

²⁶ A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

²³ These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.

²⁴ He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:

²⁵ But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

²⁸ When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
