Proverbs 14:28

In a multitude of people is a king’s splendor,

But in the dearth of people is a prince’s ruin.

Proverbs 14:34 - 14:35

Righteousness exalts a nation,

But sin is a disgrace to any people.

The king’s favor is toward a servant who acts insightfully,

But his fury is toward him who acts shamefully.
