When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
