“The king by justice makes the land stable,but he who takes bribes tears it down.”
Proverbs 29:4 (WEB)
Context Reading
2When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;but when the wicked rule, the people groan. 3Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father;but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth. 4The king by justice makes the land stable,but he who takes bribes tears it down. 5A man who flatters his neighborspreads a net for his feet. 6An evil man is snared by his sin,but the righteous can sing and be glad.
