'Ruler' in the Bible

Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

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.

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

Great numbers will make attempts to get the approval of a ruler: and every man is the special friend of him who has something to give.

When you take your seat at the feast with a ruler, give thought with care to what is before you;

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.

Like a loud-voiced lion and a wandering bear, is an evil ruler over a poor people.

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.

If a ruler gives attention to false words, all his servants are evil-doers.

The approval of a ruler is desired by great numbers: but the decision in a man's cause comes from the Lord.
