Proverbs 29:2-4

New Life Version

² When those who are right with God rule, the people are glad, but when a sinful man rules, the people have sorrow.

³ A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, but he who goes with women who sell the use of their bodies wastes his money.

⁴ The king makes the land strong by doing what is right and fair, but the one who takes pay for doing wrong, destroys it.
