WisdomAuthority and leadership

33 Visdom hviler i hjertet til den som har forstand, men selv blant dårer blir hun kjent.

34 Rettferdighet opphøyer en nasjon, men synd bringer vanære over ethvert folk.

En konge gleder seg over en tjener som handler klokt, men hans vrede er mot den som handler skammelig.
