Proverbs 28:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² When a country is in revolt, it has many rulers,
but only with a person who has understanding and knowledge
will it last a long time.
³ A poor person who oppresses poorer people
is like a driving rain that leaves no food.
⁴ Those who abandon ⌞God’s⌟ teachings praise wicked people,
but those who follow ⌞God’s⌟ teachings oppose wicked people.
