Kings

11:10-11
When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,

    and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
    but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.

14:28
In a multitude of people is the glory of a king,

    but without people a prince is ruined.

14:32
The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing,

    but the righteous finds refuge in his death.

14:34
Righteousness exalts a nation,

    but sin is a reproach to any people.

16:12
It is an abomination to kings to do evil,
    for the throne is established by righteousness.

20:26
A wise king winnows the wicked

    and drives the wheel over them.

20:28
Steadfast love and faithfulness preserve the king,

    and by steadfast love his throne is upheld.

25:4-5
Take away the dross from the silver,
    and the smith has material for a vessel;
take away the wicked from the presence of the king,
    and his throne will be established in righteousness.

28:12
When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,

    but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.

28:15
Like a roaring lion or a charging bear

    is a wicked ruler over a poor people.

28:28
When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,

    but when they perish, the righteous increase.

29:2
When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,

    but when the wicked rule, the people groan.

29:16
When the wicked increase, transgression increases,
    but the righteous will look upon their downfall.
