Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.
Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds; sound leadership has a moral foundation.
Love and truth form a good leader; sound leadership is founded on loving integrity.
Among leaders who lack insight, abuse abounds, but for one who hates corruption, the future is bright.
A leader of good judgment gives stability; an exploiting leader leaves a trail of waste.
“So, king, take my advice: Make a clean break with your sins and start living for others. Quit your wicked life and look after the needs of the down-and-out. Then you will continue to have a good life.”
