“If a ruler listens to falsehood,
All his officials will be wicked.
The poor and the oppressor
Have this in common.
Yahweh gives light to the eyes of both of them.
If a king judges the poor with equity,
His throne will be established forever.”
If a king listens to false things, all his officials will be wicked. The poor and the oppressor have one thing in common. Yahweh gives life and light to their eyes. If a good king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.
