1 A wise judge will judge his people, and the leadership of an understanding man will be steadfast.
2 As the judge of the people is, so also are his assistants. And whatever kind of man the ruler of a city is, of such a kind also are those who live in it.
3 A foolish king will be the ruin of his people. For cities will be inhabited through the understanding of those with power.
4 Power over the earth is in the hand of God, and, in due time, he will raise up a helpful leader over the earth.
