Behold a king shall reign in justice, and princes shall rule in judgment. 2And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land. 3The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently. 4And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain. 5The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great: 6For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty. 7The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment. 8But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shall stand above the rulers.
