Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking on the ground like servants.

Because of the transgression of a land, many are its rulers; but a reign is prolonged by a man of discernment and knowledge.

A poor man who oppresses the lowly is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

And their rulers shall be from among themselves, and their governor shall come from their midst; and I will cause him to be brought near, and he shall draw near to Me. For who is this who pledged his heart to come near to Me? says Jehovah.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes strong drink;

lest they drink, and forget the Law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
