The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
Un rey que hace decisiones justas fortalece su país, pero un gobernante que acepta sobornos lo destruye.
La justicia fortalece una nación, mientras que la corrupción la destruye.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of King Solomon, who is traditionally credited with writing many of the Proverbs, ancient Israelite society valued wise and just leadership as essential for national stability, drawing from experiences of kings like David who ruled with God's guidance. This verse specifically addresses the dangers of corruption, such as accepting bribes, which were prevalent in the ancient Near East and often led to social injustice and the downfall of rulers, as seen in biblical accounts of failed leadership. Such wisdom sayings were intended to instruct kings and officials on maintaining righteousness to preserve the community.
