Sirach 10:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 As the people’s judge is, so are his officials;
as the ruler of the city is, so are all its inhabitants.(A)
3 An undisciplined king ruins his people,
but a city becomes fit to live in through the understanding of its rulers.(B)
4 The government of the earth is in the hand of the Lord,
and over it he will raise up the right leader for the time.(C)
