If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, All his servants are wicked.

Many will beg the favor of a ruler, and all are friends to a man who gives gifts.

When a land does wrong, it has many princes,
But when the ruler is a man of understanding and knowledge, its stability endures.

Who having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:

A king's glory is in the number of his people: and for need of people a ruler may come to destruction.

Evil-doing is disgusting to kings: for the seat of the ruler is based on righteousness.

By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear,'so is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment cometh from Jehovah.

For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler.

The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.

When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.

Fair words are not to be looked for from a foolish man, much less are false lips in a ruler.

Better is the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.

Do not crave that ruler's delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
