2 All the officials and all the citizens will be like their ruler.
3 An uneducated king will ruin his people, but a government will grow strong if its rulers are wise.
4 The Lord sees to the government of the world and brings the right person to power at the right time.
5 The success of that person is in the Lord's hands. The Lord is the source of the honour given to any official.
6 Don't be angry with someone for every little thing he does wrong. Don't do anything out of injured pride.
7 Arrogance and injustice are hated by both the Lord and human beings.
8 Injustice, arrogance, and wealth cause nations to fall from power, and others then rise to take their place.
