“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.”
By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down—a statement of the importance of just rule to national flourishing, establishing that corruption erodes the foundations of governance. The theological significance involves the principle of justice as foundational to social order.
