Bible verses about "presidents" | Leeser

¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. ² And every one shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivulets of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a large rock in a languishing land. ³ And the eyes of those that see shall not be blinded again, and the ears of those that hear shall hearken. ⁴ The heart also of the rash shall be attentive in order to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. ⁵ The worthless person shall be no more called liberal, and the avaricious man shall not be said to be bountiful. ⁶ For the worthless person ever speaketh villany, and his heart will work injustice, to practise hypocrisy, and to speak error against the Lord, to leave empty the soul of the hungry, and the drink of the thirsty will he take away. ⁷ The instruments also of the avaricious man are evil: he deviseth wicked resolves to destroy the poor with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh what is right. ⁸ But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and he ever persisteth by liberal things.

⁶ For I the Lord,—I have not changed: and ye sons of Jacob—ye have not ceased to be.

² When there is transgression in a land, it hath many for its princes; but under a man of understanding and knowledge its prosperity will long continue.
