Proverbs 28:2-4

New King James Version

² Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.

^3 (A)A poor man who oppresses the poor
Is like a driving rain ^[a]which leaves no food.

^4 (B)Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
^(C)But such as keep the law contend with them.
