Proverbs 28:2-4

New Century Version

² When a country is lawless, it has one ruler after another;
    but when it is led by a leader with understanding and knowledge, it continues strong.

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

⁴ Those who disobey what they have been taught praise the wicked,
    but those who obey what they have been taught are against them.
