“Dux indigens prudentia multos opprimet per calumniam ; qui autem odit avaritiam, longi fient dies ejus.”
“The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.”
“A leader who lacks judgment is also a great oppressor, but he who hates dishonest profit will prolong his days.”
“A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.”
“The prince that lacketh understanding is also a great oppressor; But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.”
Prudence. Septuagint, “riches.” Poverty is a great temptation to people in authority, more than avarice itself. (Calmet)
7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
