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.

2 When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers,
but a ruler with discernment and knowledge maintains order.

is like a driving rain that leaves no crops.

but those who heed it resist them.
