Proverbs 17:14

14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.

Proverbs 17:14 In-Context

12 Care may befall a man of understanding; but fools will meditate evils.
13 Whoso rewards evil for good, evil shall not be removed from his house.
14 Rightful rule gives power to words; but sedition and strife precede poverty.
15 He that pronounces the unjust just, and the just unjust, is unclean and abominable with God.
16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.
