Proverbs 29:2-4 Common English Bible (CEB)

2. When the righteous become numerous, the people rejoice,but when the wicked dominate, the people moan.

3. A man who loves wisdom makes his father rejoice,but one who spends time with prostitutes destroys riches.

4. A king gives stability to the land by justice,but one who imposes heavy taxes tears it down.
