SCRIPTURE

"Many seek the ruler`s favor; But a man`s judgment [cometh] from Jehovah." — Proverbs 29:26 (ASV)

To trust in the favor of princes is to build upon the sands. The judgment which will set right all wrong will come from the Lord. It is better to wait for that than to run here and there, canvassing, bribing, flattering.
