4 The Lord sees to the government of the world and brings the right person to power at the right time.

Ben Sira 10:4 In-Context

2 All the officials and all the citizens will be like their ruler.

3 An uneducated king will ruin his people, but a government will grow strong if its rulers are wise.

4 The Lord sees to the government of the world and brings the right person to power at the right time.

5 The success of that person is in the Lord's hands. The Lord is the source of the honor given to any official.

6 Don't be angry with someone for every little thing he does wrong. Don't do anything out of injured pride.
