6 Bible Verses about Rulers, Wicked

Woe to those who enact evil statutes
And to those who constantly record unjust decisions,

Concerning evil, both hands do it well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.

Your rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves a bribe
And chases after rewards.
They do not defend the orphan,
Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

Her princes within her are like wolves tearing the prey, by shedding blood and destroying lives in order to get dishonest gain.

Like a roaring lion and a rushing bear
Is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

The Lord enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
