Proverbs 28:2-4

For the transgression of a land many {are} the princes thereof: but by a man of understanding {and} knowledge the state {thereof} shall be prolonged. {by...: or, by men of understanding and wisdom shall they likewise be prolonged} A poor man that oppresseth the poor {is like} a sweeping rain which leaveth no food. {which...: Heb. without food} They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
