Proverbs 29:4 in other translations
The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.
The king by justice makes the land stable, but he who takes bribes tears it down.

In context
1 Mtu aliyepokea makaripio mengi lakini anashupaza shingo yake atavunjika ndani ya muda mfupi na hata pona.
2 Watenda mema wanapoongezeka, watu wanafurahi, bali wakati mtu mwovu anapotawala, watu huugua.
3 Mwenye kupenda hekima baba yake anafurahi, bali anayeshikamana na makahaba huuharibu utajiri wake.
4 Mfalme huimarisha nchi kwa haki, bali mwenye kudai rushwa huirarua.
5 Mtu anayejipendekeza kwa jirani yake anatandaza wavu kwenye miguu yake.
6 Mtu mbaya hunaswa kwenye mtego wa dhambi yake mwenyewe, bali yeye atendaye haki huimba na kufurahi.
7 Atendaye haki hutetea madai ya masikini; mtu mwovu hafahamu maarifa kama hayo.
