Proverbs 29:2-4
Lexham English Bible

2 When the righteous are numerous, the people will rejoice,
    but when the wicked are ruling, people will groan.
3 A man who loves wisdom will make his parents glad,
    but the friend of prostitutes[a] will squander his wealth.
4 By justice a king gives stability to a land,
    but a man of bribes will ruin it.
