2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.
3. Whosoever loves wisdom causes his father to rejoice, but he that maintains harlots shall lose his inheritance.
4. The king by judgment establishes the land, but he that receives gifts shall overthrow it.
