Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
