2
As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein.
3
An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers.
4
The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it.
5
The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour.
6
Remember not any injury done thee by thy neighbour, and do thou nothing by deeds of injury.
