2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn.
3. Whosoever loves wisdom rejoices his father: but he that keeps company with harlots wastes his substance.
4. The king by justice establishes the land: but he that receives bribes overthrows it.
5. A man that flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
