Proverbs 28:28; Proverbs 29:2; Ecclesiastes 10:5–6

28  When xthe wicked rise, ypeople hide themselves,

but when they perish, the righteous increase.


When cthe righteous increase, the people rejoice,

but when dthe wicked rule, the people groan.


There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as it were lan error proceeding from the ruler: mfolly is set in many high places, and the rich sit in a low place.
