Proverbs 28:2-6

²For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

³A needy man that oppresseth the poor Is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

⁴They that forsake the law praise the wicked; But such as keep the law contend with them.

⁵Evil men understand not justice; But they that seek Jehovah understand all things.

⁶Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
