Proverbs 28:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² When a country is disobedient, it has one ruler after another.
    But when it is led by a man with understanding and knowledge, it continues strong.

³ Rulers who are cruel to the poor
    are like a hard rain that destroys the crops.

⁴ People who disobey what they have been taught praise the wicked.
    But those who obey what they have been taught are against the wicked.
