Sirach 10:2-4
Common English Bible
2 As the people’s judges are,
so will their officials be,
and as the ruler of a city is,
so also are all of its inhabitants.
3 An uneducated king will ruin his people,
and a city is founded
on the intelligence of its rulers.
4 Authority over the earth
belongs to the Lord,
and he will identify the person
who is right for the time.
