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 judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

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